Ingredients
- White Chocolate Melting Wafers: 10 oz (Ghirardelli recommended for best results)
- Graham Crackers: 8
- Crushed Peppermint: For topping
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe container. Microwave for 1 minute and stir thoroughly. If not fully melted, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Be cautious to avoid overheating as this can cause the chocolate to burn.
- Dip the Crackers: Dip each graham cracker into the melted chocolate using a fork to ensure both sides are coated evenly. Let the excess chocolate drip off before transferring to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Peppermint: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crushed peppermint over the top of each coated graham cracker.
