Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 sleeve graham crackers (about 9–10 full sheets)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- 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.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the chocolate chips until smooth, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Add Peppermint Extract: Stir the peppermint extract thoroughly into the melted chocolate to evenly distribute the flavor.
- Spread Chocolate: Evenly spread the peppermint chocolate mixture over the graham crackers using a spatula to create a smooth layer.
- Sprinkle Candy Canes: Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the chocolate layer while it is still melted for them to stick.
- Chill and Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is fully set and hardened, about 30 minutes.
- 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.
