Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Coating
- 11 ounce package milk chocolate, melted
- 11 ounce package white chocolate, melted
Other
- 4 peppermint candy canes, crushed
- 24 graham cracker squares or 12 full size crackers
Instructions
- Melt Milk Chocolate: Place the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir and continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted, about 90 seconds total.
- Dip Graham Crackers in Milk Chocolate: Dip one end of each graham cracker square into the melted milk chocolate, then lay them on parchment paper to set. Repeat with all crackers.
- Allow Milk Chocolate to Set: Let the chocolate coating on the grahams harden at room temperature or refrigerate for about 15 minutes for faster setting.
- Melt White Chocolate: Using the same method as the milk chocolate, melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip Opposite End in White Chocolate and Add Peppermint: Dip the opposite end of each graham cracker into the melted white chocolate and immediately sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy canes. Place back on the parchment paper.
- Allow White Chocolate to Set: Allow the white chocolate and peppermint topping to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Notes
- Use Ghirardelli candy melts for easy melting and no tempering required, with excellent flavor.
- For quicker chocolate setting, refrigerate the dipped graham crackers for about 15 minutes.
- Store finished treats in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a colder texture.
- Crush candy canes by placing them in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin; kids enjoy helping with this step.
- Substitute dark chocolate for milk chocolate to suit your taste preferences.
- Try chocolate graham crackers, saltine crackers, or Ritz crackers for different flavor twists.
