Ingredients
- Mini marshmallows
- Golden Grahams cereal (or Teddy Grahams, see variations below)
- Milk chocolate chips
Variations
We love this s'mores snack mix with the classic three traditional ingredients, but you can change things up a bit if you like.
- Graham Crackers: Try using Teddy Grahams in addition to, or instead of, the golden graham cereal.
- Marshmallows: We make this s'mores trail mix with classic miniature marshmallows. Another fun idea is to use dehydrated marshmallows as a great addition or instead of the regular fluffy marshmallows. Another option is to use miniature tutti frutti marshmallows to add a tropical vibe.
- Chocolate: Milk chocolate is our chocolate of choice for s'mores trail mix, but if you prefer semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, you can substitute that type instead, or do a combination of chocolate types. You can even try adding in peanut butter chips for a change.
- More Additions: The classic three above will give you that traditional s'mores flavor, but you can change things up with the addition of pretzels, nuts, or dried fruit for more of a traditional trail mix.
How to Make S'mores Trail Mix
- In a large bowl, combine the mini marshmallows, Golden Grahams, and chocolate chips.
- Stir gently together until evenly mixed.
- Store any leftover snack mix in an airtight container or zip-lock bag to keep everything fresh.

Gift Giving Bags
I also used the free printable to make fun little canvas bags, adding the printable to the front of the treat bags for gift giving. This would be a perfect summer hostess gift, or imagine finding this delicious treat on your pillow if you were staying at someone's cottage for the weekend.
Materials for the gift bags:
- Canvas bags
- Photo transfer paper
- Printer
- Free printable label
- Iron
How to make your bags: Print the graphic onto the photo transfer paper, making sure to flip your image in your printer setup so the font isn't backwards. Then cut out the graphic for each bag and iron it onto the fabric, following the instructions for the photo transfer paper. Once it's ironed on, just peel off the backing and you're finished.
My girls have been loving filling up their little bags and taking their individual portions of s'mores trail mix into the clubhouse in the backyard. How I love the long lazy days of summer.
