Gluten and Dairy Free Caramel S’mores Puppy Chow
Oh sweet s’mores, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways! Can there ever be enough s’mores recipes? Gluten and Dairy Free Caramel S’mores Puppy Chow is just the snackable s’mores treat you need in your life.
By now it should be pretty evident I have a love affair with all things s’mores. Between the play of flavors with the chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and graham crackers, and also just how happy and fun they are, they’ve led me to create different variations and dishes I can give the total s’mores razzle dazzle. This might just be my new favorite.
Snack Attack
What do you get when you combine the ultimate flavor combination with the perfect snack? The makings of a total snack attack. Gluten and Dairy Free 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. Dairy Free 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 Gluten and Dairy Free Caramel S’mores Puppy Chow
