Time Needed

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooling Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

5 cups Golden Grahams cereal, divided
4 cups Chex cereal
1 cup chocolate chips
½ cup Nutella (or peanut butter)
1 cup powdered sugar
2 cups mini marshmallows, divided

Instructions

1. Prep Your Sugar Bag Pour powdered sugar into a large freezer bag and set aside — this will give your puppy chow that signature powdery finish.
2. Melt the Chocolate In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and Nutella (or peanut butter). Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
3. Mix It All Together In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of Golden Grahams and all the Chex cereal. Stir 1 cup of marshmallows into the warm chocolate mixture, then pour everything over the cereal. Toss until evenly coated.
4. Shake and Sugar Coat Transfer the coated cereal mix into your sugar bag. Seal tightly and shake until every piece is covered in powdered sugar perfection.
5. Add the Final Touches Fold in the remaining Golden Grahams and mini marshmallows for that campfire look. Spread onto parchment paper to cool for 5–10 minutes before diving in!

Chef Emma’s Tips

Swap Nutella for peanut butter for a saltier edge.
Add M&Ms or chocolate chunks for extra fun.
Freeze leftovers for an icy, crunchy twist.

Storage

Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days at room temperature. For longer freshness, refrigerate — it keeps that chewy-crunchy contrast just right!
