Ingredients for Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers

How to Make Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers

Preparing for Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers

Melting the Chocolate for Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers

Now, for the chocolate! Pop those Ghirardelli melting wafers into a microwave-safe bowl. My secret? Melt them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. This prevents burning. Keep going until it’s all smooth and melty. It should only take a minute or two!

Dipping the Graham Crackers in Chocolate

Time to get dipping! Grab a graham cracker square and dunk it into the melted chocolate. Make sure it’s completely submerged. Then, use a fork to lift it out, tapping it gently on the edge of the bowl. This helps the excess chocolate drip off, so you get a nice, smooth coating.

Decorating Your Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers

Okay, this is the fun part! While the chocolate’s still wet, sprinkle on those holiday nonpareils or a pinch of flaky sea salt. Or both! Get creative! If you don’t want to add toppings right away, that’s cool too. Just let the chocolate set completely. Then, melt any leftover chocolate and drizzle it over the top for a fancy look. Let everything harden completely before you try to move them, or you’ll have a sticky situation!
