Ingredients

10 oz. Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers or White Chocolate
8 graham crackers
Crushed peppermint (to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: Place the white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe container.
Step 2: Microwave the chocolate for 1 minute. Stir thoroughly to melt evenly, as the wafers will keep their shape until stirred. If not fully melted, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth. Avoid overheating to prevent burning.
Step 3: Using a fork, dip each graham cracker into the melted chocolate, coating both sides completely.
Step 4: Carefully place the coated graham crackers on parchment paper.
Step 5: Sprinkle crushed peppermint over the top of each coated cracker while the chocolate is still wet.
Step 6: Let the crackers sit at room temperature until the chocolate is fully set and hardened.

Tips & Variations

For a more intense peppermint flavor, use crushed candy canes or peppermint baking chips for topping.
Try drizzling dark chocolate over the white chocolate for a decorative, contrasting look.
If you don’t have melting wafers, use good-quality white chocolate bars and chop them finely before melting.

Storage

Store the peppermint crunch graham crackers in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep well for up to one week. If your home is warm, refrigeration is recommended, but allow the crackers to come to room temperature before serving to avoid condensation. Enjoy within a week for best taste and texture.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use regular white chocolate instead of melting wafers?

Yes, you can use regular white chocolate bars; just chop them finely and melt gently. Melting wafers are designed to melt smoothly without seizing, so stirring carefully and avoiding heat spikes is important with regular chocolate.

How do I crush peppermint for the topping?

Place peppermint candies or candy canes in a sealed plastic bag and gently crush with a rolling pin or hammer. You want small pieces that will stick well to the chocolate without being too large to eat comfortably.
