This ingenious mix combines the nostalgic flavors of s’mores with the convenience and crunch of your favorite cereals, making it a hit for all ages.
Imagine the classic taste of s’mores – the warmth of toasted marshmallows, the richness of melted chocolate, and the comforting crunch of graham crackers – all in a no-mess, grab-and-go form. Our S’mores Snack Mix is a harmonious blend of Honey Grahams cereal and Cocoa Puffs, generously mixed with mini marshmallows to capture that gooey goodness. For an extra touch of indulgence, we’ve added white chocolate and butterscotch morsels, elevating this snack to new heights of deliciousness.
Ingredients:
- Honey Grahams Cereal: 1/2 box provides the graham cracker flavor base. For a twist, try using cinnamon or chocolate graham crackers for a different flavor profile.
- Cocoa Puffs: 1/2 box gives the chocolatey crunch. You could also experiment with other chocolate cereals or even a mix of chocolate and peanut butter cereals for a richer taste.
- Mini Marshmallows: 1/2 bag adds the essential s’mores gooey sweetness. If you want a bit of color or extra flavor, look for flavored marshmallows.
- White Chocolate or Butterscotch Morsels: These optional add-ins introduce creamy or buttery notes that complement the classic s’mores flavors beautifully. Consider using a mix or choosing one based on preference.
Optional Add-Ins:
- Nuts: A handful of chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts can add a nice crunch and a nutty flavor.
- Dried Fruit: For a hint of tartness, consider adding a small amount of dried cranberries or cherries.
- Pretzel Pieces: For a salty twist that contrasts the sweetness, a handful of roughly broken pretzel pieces can work wonders.
- Coconut Flakes: A sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes can add a delightful texture and tropical flavor.
Instructions:
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Honey Grahams cereal, Cocoa Puffs, mini marshmallows, and your choice of chocolate or butterscotch morsels. If you’re adding any optional ingredients like nuts or dried fruit, mix them in at this stage.
- Stir Gently: Use a spatula or a large spoon to gently stir the mixture, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly distributed without crushing the cereal.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the mix right away as a crunchy snack, or for a unique breakfast option, try it with milk. If storing, transfer the snack mix into a 1-gallon ziplock bag or an airtight container. It should keep well at room temperature for several days, making it perfect for on-the-go snacks or lunchbox treats.
