• Quick Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers Recipe

I have been covering simple ingredients in melted chocolate since I was 7 years old. My mom would always plan a day of candy making before Christmas and it was always my favorite.

My mom always had great ideas for making a simple treat that was perfect for both gifting and taking to parties. From chocolate covered peanuts to these crunchy graham crackers that are covered with chocolate, the possibilities are endless.

These chocolate covered crackers are incredibly easy to make. You only need two ingredients and about 15 minutes of prep time. The graham crackers turn out perfectly coated with a smooth layer of chocolate. They’re crunchy from the graham cracker and creamy from the rich chocolate coating.

These graham cracker treats are great for parties, a quick sweet treat after school, or and make a fantastic holiday gift. Kids can help make them too, which makes for a fun family activity.

What goes into this Recipe

• Graham Cracker Squares: You can use any brand of graham cracker you like. You could even use chocolate grahams for a double-chocolate treat!
• Candy Melts: These chocolate melting wafers melt easily and create a smooth coating for the graham crackers. You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate or white chocolate wafers depending on your preference. Just be sure it is a high-quality chocolate for the best results.

How to make Homemade Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the chocolate-covered graham crackers from sticking when the chocolate sets. Add the chocolate melting wafers to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
2. Use a fork to dip each graham cracker square into the bowl of chocolate.

3. Lightly press down, ensuring the entire graham cracker is completely covered.
4. Gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.

5. Place the chocolate-covered graham cracker on the large baking sheet. Use the tip of the fork or a toothpick to slide it off smoothly. Repeat with the remaining graham crackers.
6. They are great just how they are but you can go back and drizzle more on top for texture. Once all crackers are coated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

Expert Tips

• Use a microwave safe bowl to melt the chocolate. Otherwise they may be compromised by the excessive heat.
• Melt in 30 second intervals and stir between each. This will ensure that the chocolate melts evenly.
• Add parchment paper or wax paper to the baking sheet. Doing so will make sure that they do not stick to the pan and will help with clean up.
• Use a fork to remove any chocolate from the crackers before moving to the pan. Otherwise the chocolate could pool up.

Storage and Freezing

Store: Keep these chocolate graham crackers in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for up to 1 week. If your home is warm, you can store them in the refrigerator to prevent the chocolate from melting.

Freeze: You can freeze chocolate covered graham crackers for up to 2 months. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
