Ingredients
Scale
- 10 oz (283 g) Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers or white chocolate
- 8 graham crackers
- Crushed peppermint
Instructions
- Chocolate Preparation: Melt Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe container, using 50% power and stirring every 15 seconds until achieving a smooth, glossy texture. Avoid overheating to prevent burning.
- Coating Technique: Submerge graham crackers into melted white chocolate using a fork, ensuring complete coverage. Tap fork against container’s edge to remove excess chocolate, creating a uniform layer.
- Topping Application: Immediately sprinkle finely crushed peppermint candies over wet chocolate surface, distributing evenly to guarantee maximum flavor and visual appeal.
- Setting Process: Position chocolate-coated crackers on a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing them to rest at room temperature for 30-45 minutes until chocolate hardens completely and develops a crisp, elegant finish.
Notes
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Use low power and short intervals to prevent burning, stirring carefully between each microwave session for smooth, glossy chocolate.
- Coating Technique: Use a fork for precise dipping, allowing excess chocolate to drip off for an even, thin layer that showcases the graham cracker texture.
- Peppermint Precision: Crush candies finely before sprinkling to ensure even distribution and a consistent crunch across each treat.
- Setting Success: Let crackers cool at room temperature to achieve a perfect, crisp chocolate shell that doesn’t crack or become too soft.
