Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 graham crackers
- 10 ounces (283 grams) Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers or white chocolate
Topping:
- Crushed peppermint
Instructions
- Prepare Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers and select a microwave-safe container that provides ample space for melting.
- Transfer the white chocolate melting wafers (approximately or 340 grams) into the container, ensuring an even distribution.
- Microwave the chocolate for 60 seconds at 50% power, carefully monitoring to prevent scorching or burning.
- After initial heating, gently stir the chocolate, noting that it might maintain its original shape until thoroughly mixed.
- Continue microwaving in 15-second increments at 50% power, stirring meticulously after each interval until the chocolate achieves a completely smooth, glossy consistency.
- Select high-quality graham crackers and use a fork to immerse each cracker individually into the melted white chocolate, ensuring complete and uniform coverage on both surfaces.
- Gently tap the fork against the container’s edge to remove excess chocolate, allowing a thin, even layer to coat the cracker.
- Carefully transfer the chocolate-coated crackers onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, maintaining adequate spacing between each piece.
- Immediately sprinkle finely crushed peppermint candies (approximately or 60 grams) over the wet chocolate surface, ensuring generous and even distribution.
- Allow the chocolate-covered graham crackers to rest at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, or until the chocolate sets completely and hardens to a crisp finish.
Notes
- Customize your treats by experimenting with different chocolate types or seasonal crush-ins.
- Keep remaining crackers fresh by storing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Ensure even chocolate coating by using a fork and gently tapping excess chocolate back into the melting container.
- Crush peppermint candies beforehand using a rolling pin or food processor for consistent, fine texture.
- Work quickly after dipping crackers to sprinkle peppermint before chocolate sets, creating a beautiful, professional look.
