Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Coating
- 11 ounce package milk chocolate, melted
- 11 ounce package white chocolate, melted
Toppings & Base
- 4 peppermint candy canes, crushed
- 24 graham cracker squares or 12 full size crackers
Instructions
- Melt Milk Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk chocolate for 30 seconds. Stir, then continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until 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 and place them on parchment paper to set.
- Allow Milk Chocolate to Set: Let the chocolate coating firm up so it doesn't mix with the white chocolate during the next step.
- Melt White Chocolate: Using the same method as before, melt the white chocolate in the microwave until smooth.
- Dip Other End in White Chocolate and Add Peppermint: Immediately dip the opposite end of each graham cracker into the white chocolate and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy canes while the white chocolate is still wet.
- Final Setting: Allow the white chocolate and peppermint topping to set completely before handling or serving.
Notes
- Use Ghirardelli candy melts for easy melting without tempering and excellent flavor.
- To speed up chocolate setting, place dipped graham crackers in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
- Store finished graham crackers in an airtight container at room temperature, or refrigerate for a colder texture.
- Crush candy canes by placing them in a plastic bag and rolling a rolling pin over until finely broken.
- Dark chocolate can be substituted for milk chocolate for a richer taste.
- Try swapping graham crackers with chocolate grahams, saltines, or Ritz crackers for different flavor twists.
