Snack Attack

What do you get when you combine the ultimate flavor combination with the perfect snack? The makings of a total snack attack. Caramel S’mores Puppy Chow is so good, you might want to double the recipe.

When it comes to creating recipes sometimes it’s an ingredient or new product that guides me. The inspiration for this recipe started with Spiceology’s S’mores blend. That first finger dip immediately reminded me of the molten sticky chocolate, warm buttery graham crackers, and toasted sweet marshmallows. This blend would be amazing on popcorn…but we’re making puppy chow.

Puppy chow is to the sweet world what Chex Mix is to the savory. With a canvas of Gluten Free cereal, the sky, or toppings is really the limit.

For this recipe we’re using Cinnamon Chex. Think of it as your cinnamon graham cracker base. chocolate chips and Dairy Free sweetened condensed milk are melted together to create that ooey-gooey, luxurious sticky sauce. All good things start with sweetened condensed milk.

A shake in powdered sugar and the s’mores blend finishes it off. Except for the crowning glory of any and all s’mores…the marshmallows. In this case we’re using mini marshmallows. Feel free to measure them with your heart.

Ooey Gooey Caramel S’mores Puppy Chow

• Start by adding half of the chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk to a large microwave-safe bowl.
• Warm the mixture in short intervals, stirring between each one, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
• Pour in the cereal and gently mix until every piece is coated in the chocolate-caramel mixture.
• Let the coated cereal cool for about 15 minutes so the powdered sugar sticks well.
• Sprinkle in the s’mores seasoning and powdered sugar, tossing until everything is evenly covered.
• Add the remaining chocolate chips and the marshmallows, then stir to combine. You’ll end up with a crunchy, chocolatey s’mores mix that’s hard to stop snacking on.
• Make sure to grab a handful for yourself — this disappears fast.
