Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package of graham crackers (about 9 sheets)
- 12 ounces of white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1/2 cup of crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
Optional Ingredients
- Sprinkles for decoration
- Peppermint extract, 1-2 drops for extra peppermint flavor
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Break Graham Crackers: Separate the graham crackers into individual squares along their perforated lines for easy dipping.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Take care not to overheat, as white chocolate can be sensitive.
- Add Peppermint Extract: If desired, stir 1-2 drops of peppermint extract into the melted white chocolate to enhance the peppermint flavor.
- Dip Graham Crackers: Using a fork, dip each graham cracker square into the melted white chocolate to fully coat it. Allow excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated graham crackers on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crushed peppermint candies over each cracker. Optionally, add colorful sprinkles for a festive look.
- Set Chocolate: Let the chocolate harden at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
- Serve: Once the chocolate is set, the Peppermint Crunch White Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers are ready to enjoy or store for later.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Be careful when melting white chocolate to avoid overheating and seizing.
- Crush peppermint candies finely but leave some small chunks for texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- These treats make excellent holiday gifts or festive snacks.
