Cinnamon Puppy Chow
Last weekend, my sisters and mom came to visit me in Cincinnati. It was time once again for our annual girls weekend. The weekend was filled with some fun touristy activities, movies on the couch, and just lots of catching up. It also included some great food.
Since I was hosting, I got to go all out and show off my grilling skills (Hubby disappeared for the weekend to give us the full girls weekend experience). I also whipped up some ice cream, some sorbet, and some snacks. My family is a big snacking family and Puppy Chow is one of our all time favorites.
In fact, one of the first holidays I spent with Hubby, I whipped up a batch of Puppy Chow for his family. They had never heard of it, but devoured it just the same. This Cinnamon Puppy Chow is absolutely addictive. As a clan, we demolished the first batch on Thursday night. So we whipped up another batch on Saturday night for the second round of chick flicks.
Whether it’s for girls weekend, hanging with the kids, or just for yourself, you want to make this Cinnamon Puppy Chow.

Cinnamon Puppy Chow
If you like Puppy Chow, you're going to love this cinnamon version. It's down-right addictive!
Yield: 4 cups
Ingredients:
4 cups Chex cereal
2/3 cup cinnamon chips
4 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
Pour the Chex cereal into a medium bowl.
Melt the cinnamon chips and butter in a microwave save bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Heat for another 15 seconds and stir until completely smooth.
Pour cinnamon chip mixture over Chex cereal. Stir to coat cereal completely. I found that using my hands to gently toss with cereal was the best way to completely coat the cereal.
Mix the powdered sugar, sugar, and cinnamon in a gallon sized Ziplock bag. Add cinnamon coated Chex and toss.

That’s the same recipe I used for grahams last summer, and I was addicted to them. Could not stop eating them! Thanks for reminding me to make them again.
I loved your themed week recipes, it’s so festive and fun. These sound sinful with the caramel chocolates. YUM!
I LOVE what you did with all the s’mores! Great idea and you’re just so creative with it all. Let me know if you ever need a taste-tester, I live right down the street!
i’ve wanted to try my own graham crackers… bummer to hear they’re not that much better than store bought! FABULOUS idea with the caramel chocolates though 🙂
Oh my lord…can I just tell you how good these look!!!!
And I LOVE smores!
these look FABULOUS, and yes smores with Reese’s cups are absolutely delicious! I just found your blog and became your follower because your recipes look divine, I will def. be trying some of them in the near future! Have a wonderful day!
I made this graham recipe too! I wish I had gotten to check if some of them were better a few days later, but mine were all gone after a weekend of camping. 😉 I felt like you did at first though, that they were good but not great, and so it is a good thing to know they improve with time. Thanks for all these recipes!
What a great week of posts – I especially love your caramel twist here and I’m super impressed you made your own graham crackers 🙂
