Equipment
- Microwave-safe bowls
- Wax paper
- Cookie sheets
- Forks (for dipping)
- Self-sealing cellophane bags (optional, but highly recommended for gifting)
Ingredients
- 12 graham crackers regular or chocolate-flavored works great!
- 24 ounces of chocolate melts dark, milk, or white chocolate—your choice!
- Sprinkles crushed candy, or extra chocolate for decorating
Instructions
- Prep Your Workspace: Cover two cookie sheets with wax paper. This will keep your chocolate-covered creations from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Melt That Chocolate: Grab a shallow microwave-safe bowl and toss in your chocolate melts. Heat them at 50% power for one minute, then stir. If they’re not fully melted, pop them back in the microwave for 15-second intervals until smooth and glossy.
- Pro Tip: If the chocolate feels too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening. Trust me—it makes all the difference!
- Dip Those Crackers: Now comes the fun part. Take a graham cracker square, press it gently into the melted chocolate, and flip it over to coat the other side. Use a fork to lift it out, tapping off any excess chocolate before placing it on the wax paper.
- Get Creative: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle away! Whether you’re adding rainbow nonpareils, drizzling contrasting chocolate, or even tossing on some crushed peppermint candy, now’s your chance to let your creativity shine.
- Let Them Set: Pop your decorated treats into the fridge for 5-10 minutes. This helps the chocolate harden with a beautiful sheen. Repeat the process until all your crackers are dipped and decorated.
Notes
- Use melting wafers instead of regular chocolate for smoother results and a professional finish.
- Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
- For gluten-free options, substitute regular graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives.
