I made it as a summer-friendly spin-off of that viral favorite — and it was such a hit, I knew it needed its own moment to shine.

How to Make the Best S’mores Trail Mix

Here's how easy it is to make this delicious snack mix!

Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to whip up a big batch:

• 1.5 cups Chocolate Cheerios
• 1.5 cups plain Chex cereal
• 1 cup mini pretzels
• ½ cup Teddy Grahams
• ½ cup mini marshmallows
• ½ cup chocolate chips
• 1 (11 oz) bag white chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or Crisco)

How to Make It

1. Prep your tray: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
2. Mix the dry stuff: In a large bowl, combine your dry ingredients — the Chocolate Cheerios, Chex, pretzels, and Teddy Grahams. Give it a good stir.
3. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the entire bag of white chocolate chips and the tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time with a baking spatula. It usually takes about 4 rounds or 2 minutes total until smooth and fully melted.
4. Coat the mix: Pour the melted white chocolate over your dry mix. Stir really well to coat everything evenly — this is what binds it all together and gives it that sweet, snackable crunch.
5. Spread and top: Pour the mixture onto your lined cookie sheet and spread it out into an even layer. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips over the top while it’s still melty so they stick.
6. Cool and break: Let it cool at room temperature for about an hour. Once it’s set, use a spatula to lift and break it into large, bark-style chunks. Try to keep some bigger clusters — that’s the fun of it!
7. Store or serve: Store it in an airtight container or ziplock bag — or go ahead and serve it in a big bowl and watch it disappear!
