Chubby Bunny is a popular, fun game, frequently played by campers around a campfire. Players put an increasing number of marshmallows in their mouths and attempt to clearly and audibly say the phrase “Chubby Bunny”. The winner is the person who is able to say the phrase with the most marshmallows in his or her mouth.
The origins of Chubby Bunny have not been discovered; however, the Peanuts comic strip from February 28, 1959 shows Snoopy playing Chubby Bunny.

Rules for Chubby Bunny
Every good game has rules, and even though Chubby Bunny is a relatively simplistic game, there are still some rules that must be followed.
Rules
- If a player spits out a marshmallow, they are eliminated from the game.
- Players may not chew their marshmallows up, eat them, or swallow them whole. Players who do so are disqualified.
- Players may use fingers to rearrange the marshmallows in their mouths.
- Decide before you begin playing if players are allowed to liquefy their marshmallows intentionally with saliva to avoid arguments.
- Players must dispose of their marshmallows in a provided trash bag when they are disqualified.
Variations:
- Chubby Bunny can go by other names. Some players have chosen in the past include Chubby Bunnies, Chubby Monkey, Fluffy Bunny, Pudgy Bunny, and Yummy Bunny.
- Chubby Bunny can try the challenge one at a time until they can no longer continue, with spectators counting the number of marshmallow. Alternatively, individual players can take turns, with those failing eliminated until only one player is left.
- Sometimes the winner is required to eat the marshmallows. Careful: suffocating could result.
- The winner of Chubby Bunny can be awarded a prize and the first one to fail at the Chubby Bunny challenge can get a embarrassing or silly booby prize.
