Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the graham crackers from sticking.
Step 2: Melt the White Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Step 3: Dip the Graham Crackers
Dip each graham cracker into the melted white chocolate, ensuring each cracker is fully coated.
Step 4: Place on Baking Sheet
Place the coated graham crackers on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Add Peppermint Crunch
While the white chocolate is still wet, sprinkle peppermint crunch over the top of each cracker.
Step 6: Allow to Set
Let the chocolate-covered graham crackers sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
Step 7: Cut and Serve
Once the chocolate is firm, cut the graham crackers into smaller pieces if desired, and serve.
Notes
Note 1: Chocolate Melting
Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate, as it can become grainy if melted too much.
Note 2: Peppermint Crunch Substitute
You can substitute peppermint crunch with crushed candy canes or any other desired topping.
Note 3: Storage
Store the finished graham crackers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
