Peppermint Bark Graham Crackers Ingredients

Graham crackers: You will have enough melted chocolate to coat about 2 sleeves of graham crackers.

Chocolate: Using 20-oz of white melting chocolate will create the smooth, sweet candy coating.

Melting wafers: For more chocolatey goodness, you need 20-oz of milk chocolate melting wafers.

How to make Holiday Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers

Prep

Start by lining two large baking sheets with parchment paper, then set them aside.

Then crush the peppermint candy in a ziplocked bag using a rolling pin or meat mallet. You want small pieces, not dust.

Chocolate prep

Next in a microwave safe bowl, melt the white chocolate for 1:30. Let the chocolate sit for 2-3 minutes, then gently stir. If the chocolate isn’t fully melted, return it to the microwave and heat in 20 second intervals, letting it sit before stirring each time. Feel free to add ½ tsp of coconut oil, or shortening, to thin the chocolate out and make it easier to dip crackers.

First chocolate coat

After that, break each of the graham crackers in half to form a square piece. You can break the graham crackers into fourths for smaller pieces, if you prefer.

Now proceed to place a graham cracker square in the melted white chocolate and press it into coat. Then turn it over using my favorite handy Wilton dipping tool or 2 forks. Lift the cracker out and tap the excess chocolate off. Place it on the prepared baking sheet and immediately sprinkle the crushed peppermint candy all over the top. Repeat with the rest of the crackers.

Place pan in the fridge, or any other cool spot, for about 10 minutes, until the chocolate is set.

Second coating

After they’ve set, repeat the process above for melting the milk or semi-sweet chocolate. Once melted, lift one of the white chocolate peppermint topped crackers. Take a spoonful of melted chocolate and place it on the space where the cracker sat on the parchment paper. Place the cracker on top and press it down gently so that the bottom of the cracker is coated. Repeat with remaining chocolate and crackers. Let them sit until the chocolate has set.

Alternately, you can dip the white chocolate peppermint crackers in a shallow bowl with the melted milk chocolate. Use a fork to remove it, tapping excess off and place it on parchment to cool and set.

Pull the crackers apart from the parchment paper, serve, and enjoy!

Chocolate Types: Substitute the white melting chocolate with dark or semi-sweet chocolate for a richer flavor.

Tips for melting chocolate to the perfect consistency

To achieve the right consistency for melting chocolate, you can use the double boiler method or for faster results the microwave. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between to prevent overheating. Adding a small amount of vegetable oil can improve fluidity, making the chocolate easier to dip.

How long are chocolate covered graham crackers good for?

Store peppermint chocolate graham crackers in an airtight container, on the countertop, and they will last up to 3-4 days. The chocolate may bloom after several days, so it’s best to serve within 24 hours of making these.

To maintain freshness, it is best to keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For longer storage, placing them in the refrigerator can help preserve their texture and flavor.

How do you crush peppermint candies for garnishing treats?

To crush peppermint candies effectively, place them in a sealed plastic bag and use a rolling pin or meat mallet to break them into smaller pieces. An alternative method is to use a food processor, pulsing until reaching the desired consistency. Both methods create a suitable texture for garnishing treats.

How can you ensure peppermint candies adhere to the crackers?

To ensure peppermint candies adhere well, sprinkle them onto the chocolate coating while it is still warm and not fully set. Press them gently into the chocolate to secure their placement. This technique helps the candies stick and adds a festive touch to the appearance.
