Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
graham crackers – 1 sleeve (about 9 full graham cracker sheets, broken in half if desired)
milk chocolate melting wafers or chopped milk chocolate – 1 pound (454 g)
white chocolate, melted – 1/4 cup (about 45 g)
Directions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Place the milk chocolate in a heat-safe bowl. Melt it gently using a microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Dip one graham cracker at a time into the melted milk chocolate, turning to coat it completely. Lift it out using a fork, letting any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Place the coated cracker onto the prepared parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining graham crackers.
Once all crackers are coated, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top using a spoon or a small piping bag.
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature until firm, or place the tray in the refrigerator for faster setting.
