Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 sleeve graham crackers (about 910 full sheets)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/4 cup crushed candy canes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
  2. Arrange Graham Crackers: Place the graham crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are flat and touching for even coverage.
  3. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the chocolate chips until smooth, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  4. Add Peppermint Extract: Stir the peppermint extract thoroughly into the melted chocolate to evenly distribute the flavor.
  5. Spread Chocolate: Evenly spread the peppermint chocolate mixture over the graham crackers using a spatula to create a smooth layer.
  6. Sprinkle Candy Canes: Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the chocolate layer while it is still melted for them to stick.
  7. Chill and Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is fully set and hardened, about 30 minutes.
  8. Break into Pieces: Once set, break the graham crackers into desired sizes to serve or package.

Notes

  • Use good quality peppermint extract for best flavor impact.
  • For easier melting, use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring often.
  • Store the assembled graham crackers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Crushed candy canes can be substituted with peppermint candies or white chocolate chips for variation.
