Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10 ounces (283 grams) Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers
- 8 graham crackers
Toppings:
- Crushed peppermint
Instructions
- Prepare a microwave-safe bowl with white chocolate melting wafers, ensuring the container is clean and dry.
- Gently melt the chocolate in short bursts, stirring meticulously between each interval to create a smooth, glossy consistency without scorching.
- Create a dipping station with a fork and parchment-lined baking sheet for efficient chocolate coating of graham crackers.
- Carefully submerge each graham cracker into the molten white chocolate, using the fork to lift and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Delicately transfer the chocolate-enrobed crackers onto the prepared parchment paper, maintaining an even surface.
- Immediately shower the freshly coated crackers with finely crushed peppermint pieces, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Allow the treats to rest at ambient temperature, permitting the chocolate to solidify and create a crisp, smooth exterior.
- Once the chocolate has completely set and hardened, transfer the peppermint-studded graham crackers to a serving platter or storage container.
Notes
- Ensure chocolate melts smoothly by using low, consistent microwave intervals to prevent burning or seizing.
- Crush peppermint candies finely for even distribution and maximum flavor impact on each cracker.
- Use high-quality white chocolate wafers for a cleaner, more professional coating that sets beautifully.
- Transform this treat into a gluten-free option by substituting graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives like rice crackers or almond flour-based cookies.
