S'mores Trail Mix -Easy recipe that everyone loves, plus a free printable to make the sweet little favour bag, the perfect summer gift.
As the warm weather arrives, so do thoughts of a camping trip and everyone's favorite summer treat -s'mores! My kids love s’mores, but I don’t always love the smoky campfire, the bugs, or the sticky mess of roasted marshmallows, so here’s a way to have your s’mores and eat them too. The s'more's trail mix is the perfect solution, with all the same great taste without the mess. We love it as the perfect snack. Try it for road trips, movie night, or as a great after-school snack for hungry kids. This easy snack is the perfect treat for the whole family to enjoy. I’m sharing this very easy S’mores Trail Mix recipe along with a sweet free printable that you can use for a DIY treat bag perfect for gift giving or as a gift tag.
The s'more mix is super easy to make. All you have to do is just combine graham cracker cereal, mini marshmallows, and milk chocolate chips. The most challenging thing about the whole recipe is trying not to eat it all.
Variations
Graham Crackers
We love this s'mores snack mix with the classic three traditional ingredients, but you can change things up a bit if you like to. 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 options 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 of chocolate instead, or do a combination of chocolate types. You can even try adding in peanut butter chips for a change.
Free Printable Label or Gift Tag
This recipe makes big bowl, so in addition to being a great snack, it's also perfect for gift giving. You can print the label on simple cardstock and use it as a gift tag. This great treat is so perfect for gift giving. It makes a great birthday or party favor, lunch box treats, teacher gift heading into summer break, or hostess gift. To use the printable as a gift tag, but the cereal mixture into cellophane bags, and tie with some ribbon or string to keep it airtight and then add the cute tag. This easy treat is sure to be a hit with anyone who has a sweet tooth.

Gift Giving Bags
I also used the free printable to make fun little canvas bags and added 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:
To make the bags I started with ready made canvas bags, and picked up some photo transfer paper from the business supply store. Find the free printable in our Free Resource Library.
- canvas bags
- photo transfer paper
- printer
- free printable label
- iron
How To Make Your Bags:
To make the bags print the graphic onto the photo transfer paper, making sure to flip your image in your printer set-up 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 Mix into the clubhouse in the backyard. How I love the long lazy days of summer!
