Chocolate Peppermint Grahams are the perfect last minute holiday treat. Peppermint Bark gets a chocolate graham cracker boost! These holiday treats covered in chocolate and peppermint are easy enough for the kids to make.
Melt milk chocolate in microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds. Stir and heat again at 30 second intervals, stirring between until smooth (about a total of 90 seconds).
Dip one end of the graham cracker into milk chocolate, lay on parchment paper. Repeat with all grahams.
Allow to set.
Melt white chocolate in microwave in the same manner as step 1. Dip other end of cracker in white chocolate and immediately sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Allow to set.
Notes
I love using Ghirardelli candy melts (chocolate and white chocolate). No tempering needed and it tastes amazing.
Want the chocolate to set more quickly? Place the dipped graham crackers in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
How to store: Once set, transfer these to an airtight container or jar and keep covered at room temperature. If you like the texture cold, you can also store these in the fridge.
Crushing candy canes: I crush my candy canes by placing them in a plastic bag and running my rolling pin over them a few times. Kids get a big kick out of this!
Chocolate substitutes: Dark chocolate fans can easily substitute it for the milk chocolate in this recipe.
More: swap out the graham crackers for CHOCOLATE graham crackers. A delicious twist. Love salty? Use saltine crackers or Ritz crackers instead.
