Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Place the Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers in a microwave-safe container.
2. Microwave the chocolate for 1 minute. Stir thoroughly (note that the wafers maintain their shape until stirred).
3. If the chocolate isn’t fully melted, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring after each round until smooth. Be careful not to overheat, as the wafers can burn.
4. Dip each graham cracker into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s coated on both sides. Use a fork to lift the cracker out and place it on parchment paper.
5. Sprinkle crushed peppermint generously on top of the coated graham crackers.
6. Let the treats sit at room temperature until the chocolate is fully set.

Tips for Success

• Keep it smooth: Stir the chocolate well to ensure a silky texture.
• Add toppings quickly: Sprinkle the crushed peppermint before the chocolate hardens.
• Work in batches: If you’re making a large batch, melt the chocolate in smaller portions to keep it from cooling.

Creative Additions and Substitutions

• Switch the chocolate: Use milk or dark chocolate for a rich twist.
• Try flavored toppings: Swap crushed peppermint for toffee bits, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
• Go gluten-free: Use gluten-free graham crackers for an allergy-friendly option.

What to Serve with Peppermint Crunch White Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers

Pair these sweet treats with:

• Hot cocoa: The perfect complement to the minty crunch.
• Coffee or tea: Balance the sweetness with a warm beverage.
• A dessert platter: Add them to a mix of cookies, brownies, and Mini Cherry Cheesecakes for a festive dessert spread.

Storage Instructions

• At room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
• In the fridge: If your home is warm, keep them in the fridge to maintain the chocolate’s firmness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! They stay fresh for up to a week, so you can prepare them well in advance.

Can I use candy canes instead of peppermint?
Yes! Just crush candy canes into small pieces to use as a topping.

What if I don’t have melting wafers?
Regular white chocolate bars or chips work, too. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to help with melting.
