    Smooth and creamy—melts easily and coats beautifully.

Tip: Use high-quality melting chocolate for best results.

Decoration:

  • White chocolate (¼ cup, melted)
    Drizzled for contrast and elegance.

    Adds color, texture, and festive flair.

Optional: Use crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or edible glitter.

Equipment Needed

  • Microwave-safe bowls
  • Fork or dipping tool
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Piping bag or sandwich bag
  • Spatula or spoon

Optional: Use a cooling rack for faster setting.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Break 9 full graham cracker sheets in half to create 18 squares.

Set aside.

Tip: Handle gently to avoid cracking.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate

Place 1 pound milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.

Heat at 50% power for 1 minute, then stir.

Continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.

Optional: Add 1 tsp coconut oil for a thinner consistency.

Step 3: Coat the Crackers

Using a fork:

  • Dip one graham cracker square into the melted chocolate.
  • Flip to coat both sides.
  • Tap the fork gently against the bowl’s edge to remove excess chocolate.

Place coated cracker on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Repeat with remaining crackers.

Tip: Work quickly before chocolate begins to set.

Step 4: Decorate

If using sprinkles:

  • Add immediately after placing each cracker on the sheet.

To drizzle:

  • Fill a piping bag or sandwich bag with melted white chocolate.
  • Snip the tip and drizzle over the crackers in zigzag or swirl patterns.

Optional: Add crushed peppermint or mini marshmallows for seasonal flair.

Step 5: Set and Store

Let the treats set at room temperature for 1 hour, until chocolate is firm.

Once set:

  • Carefully remove from parchment.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Tip: Layer with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
