How to Make Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers

*You’ll find a detailed and printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

If you want to top your graham crackers with chopped peppermint, place candy canes in a plastic Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Really take out your aggression on those candy canes. Revenge is yours!

Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and coconut oil for 30 seconds. Let it sit for 30 seconds, then repeat. Stir. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir until smooth.

Dip half of the graham cracker into the chocolate and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint, sprinkles, chopped nuts, etc., or no toppings at all.

Allow the chocolate to harden on the graham crackers at room temperature (~20-45 minutes).

ingredient Tip

If ease and a smooth and shiny chocolate shell appearance matter to you, melting discs are the way to go. Ghiradelli and Merkens are both great and very popular.

If you have a chocolate bar that you love, make sure to roughly chop it before microwaving it with coconut oil. Chopped chocolate will take less time to melt than a solid bar.

Chocolate chips are designed to not melt, so they will take longer to melt in the microwave. They may also result in a streaky appearance in the chocolate. It is best to use coconut oil when melting if you plan to use chocolate chips.

storage

In a warm house, the chocolate stores best in the fridge, but the cookies are best served at room temperature. So pop them out onto the counter for 20 minutes before serving for best results. They will keep in the fridge for two weeks.

If your house isn’t too warm, you can store them in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

  1. Where did you get those crackers? They look much nicer than the ones we get at the store to make s’mores! 🙂

    1. I made them. The post used to be a recipe for homemade graham crackers dipped in chocolate. But that was an overwhelming amount of info in one post and recipe card. So I’m breaking them into two posts. 🙂

  2. These cookies are amazing! Graham crackers dipped in chocolate are already fabulous. I’m not a huge peppermint fan, but the sprinkled peppermint gives them just enough extra flavor to put them over the top. I’m getting ready to make a new batch for my Thursday afternoon group.

    Now that I’ve made homemade graham crackers, I’ll never go back to the regular. They are so easy to make, especially since I can make the cookies in the food processor. Both the mixing and the cleanup are easy. I heartily recommend you try these!5 stars

  3. Those look amazing. I am definitely going to try making them over the holidays, although i will leave off the candy canes. My family doesn’t really like them. It never occurred to me to make my own graham crackers!
