Ingredients
Scale
Crackers
- 5 whole graham cracker sheets (cut in half to yield 10 halves)
Chocolate Coatings
- 1 bag (10-12 oz) white chocolate melting wafers
- 1 cup milk chocolate melting wafers
Toppings
- 1/4 cup crushed or chopped peppermint candy canes
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet or cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Melt the white chocolate: Place the white chocolate melting wafers into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well between each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Coat graham crackers in white chocolate: Dip one graham cracker half at a time into the melted white chocolate, making sure the entire cracker is covered. Use a fork to lift it out of the chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and place it onto the parchment paper. Immediately sprinkle crushed peppermint candy cane pieces evenly over the white chocolate. Repeat with all graham cracker halves.
- Chill the coated crackers: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to help the white chocolate set firmly.
- Melt the milk chocolate: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate melting wafers using 30-second increments, stirring after each until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the bottoms in milk chocolate: Take each white chocolate coated graham cracker and hold it with a fork. Dip only the bottom edge (opposite the side with the peppermint pieces) into the melted milk chocolate. Return the dipped cracker to the parchment paper. Repeat for all crackers.
- Allow the chocolate to set: Let the chocolate coatings set at room temperature or in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until firm before serving.
Notes
- Use microwave-safe bowls for melting chocolate and stir frequently to avoid overheating or burning the chocolate.
- Crushing candy canes finely helps them stick better and adds a delightful texture.
- Be careful not to dip the peppermint side in the milk chocolate to keep the look and texture intact.
- Store the finished peppermint bark graham crackers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
