- ¼ cup mini chocolate candies or M&M’s (optional for added color)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
- Prepare the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker cereal, mini marshmallows, milk chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips. If using, add pretzels and mini chocolate candies to the bowl.
- Mix the snack ingredients: Gently toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed. If you like a more cohesive texture, drizzle the melted butter over the mix and toss again to coat everything lightly.
- Chill (optional): If you’d like the chocolate to set and firm up a little, place the snack mix in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This step is optional but adds an extra level of sweetness and texture.
- Serve and enjoy: After chilling (or immediately if you’re too excited to wait!), serve the S’mores Snack Mix in bowls or store it in an airtight container for easy snacking.
