- 1 cup Teddy Grahams
- 1 cup chocolate-covered almonds or chocolate pieces
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (for trail mix)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (for puppy chow)
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
Instructions
- Establish a double boiler by placing a heat-proof glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
- Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in the glass bowl, stirring continuously until smooth and fully integrated.
- Incorporate marshmallows into the chocolate mixture, stirring until they begin to soften and blend.
- Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and gently fold rice cereal into the melted chocolate, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- Transfer the chocolate-coated cereal into a large zip-top bag containing confectioner’s sugar.
- Seal the bag and vigorously shake for approximately 60 seconds, coating each cereal piece with powdered sugar.
- Allow the sugar-coated cereal to cool and set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared puppy chow with Golden Grahams, Teddy Grahams, mini marshmallows, and chocolate pieces.
- Gently mix all ingredients until thoroughly distributed, creating a uniform trail mix texture.
- Store in an airtight container for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Melt chocolate and peanut butter gently using a double boiler method to prevent burning and ensure smooth, even melting.
- Stir marshmallows continuously while melting to create a consistent texture and prevent sticking or scorching.
- Coat rice cereal completely with chocolate mixture by using folding techniques, ensuring each piece gets an even chocolate layer.
- Use a sealed bag when coating with powdered sugar to create an even, light dusting and minimize mess.
- Add extra marshmallows or chocolate chips for more indulgent trail mix variation.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness and prevent staleness.
- Perfect for kid-friendly snacks, road trips, or movie night treats.
