The classic puppy chow recipe has just been given a sweet upgrade! Introducing S'mores Puppy Chow - the perfect snack for chocolate lovers. It's got all the deliciousness of the classic muddy buddy recipe, but with added chocolate and marshmallow goodness.
In a small microwave safe container, combine the chocolate chips, Nutella, and butter.
Microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring until smooth.
In a large bowl, add 6 cups of the Golden Graham cereal.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over. Stir until the cereal has been evenly coated.
Transfer the chocolate coated cereal into a large, gallon sized Ziplock bag and add the powdered sugar.
Seal the bag and shake to coat the cereal in the sugar.
Pour the mix onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow to cool.
Once cooled, combine the mix with the remaining Golden Graham cereal and mini marshmallows.
Enjoy!
Notes

Mini chocolate chips melt down more quickly than large ones.
You can melt the chocolate, Nutella, and butter over a double-boiler if you prefer not to use the microwave.
Letting the coated cereal mixture cool on parchment paper makes clean-up a breeze.
Also, cooling the cereal between steps seven and eight in the recipe card keeps the muddy munch snack looking cleaner!
If you're making an extra big batch of puppy chow, you can use a clean, large brown paper bag to shake everything up. Otherwise, this recipe will fit just fine in a gallon-sized, freezer bag or something similar.
Always check the ingredients list when preparing foods for someone with a peanut allergy. Though Nutella brand hazelnut spread does not have any cross-contamination risk with peanuts, generic brands might
