Ingredient Notes
- Chocolate: The quality of chocolate you use in this recipe will make a big difference in the flavor! I love using high-quality Belgian chocolate for the best results. Belgian chocolate is known for its smooth texture and rich chocolate flavor, making it the perfect choice for this recipe. You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or a combination of both. I sometimes mix good quality milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate melts if I don't have Belgian chocolate on hand.
- Graham Crackers: have a slightly sweet and nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with chocolate. You can use a regular honey graham cracker or chocolate graham crackers for this recipe. You can make this recipe gluten-free by using gluten-free graham crackers instead!
- Sprinkles: Sprinkles are optional, but they add a fun and festive touch! The kids love it! You can use any type of sprinkles you like, such as rainbow sprinkles, chocolate sprinkles, or holiday-themed sprinkles. Match your sprinkles to your event like pink and blue sprinkles for baby showers! You can also use other toppings, such as crushed candy canes, crushed Oreos, caramel bits, or sea salt, for a unique flavor combination.

If stored properly in an airtight container or cookie tin, they will last for up to a week at room temperature.
How do I get the chocolate to stick to the graham crackers without making a mess?

Expert Tips
- For best results, use high-quality Belgian chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the final product will taste.
- When melting the chocolate, be sure to do it in 20-second increments and stir in between to avoid burning the chocolate. You can also add a bit of coconut oil to help make it smooth.
- If the chocolate starts to thicken while you're dipping the graham crackers, simply microwave it for a few seconds to thin it out again.
- To make the drizzling process easier, you can use a plastic bag with a small hole cut in one corner instead of a piping bag.
- If you don't have access to a freezer, you can also let the chocolate-covered graham crackers set in the refrigerator for a longer period of time.
Recipe Variations:
- For a holiday twist, crush up candy canes and sprinkle them on top of the chocolate before it sets.
- Instead of using sprinkles, try topping the chocolate-covered graham crackers with sea salt and toffee bits for a sweet and salty flavor combination.
- If you're looking for a gluten-free option, try using gluten-free graham crackers.
Recipe Substitutions:
- If you don't have access to Belgian chocolate, you can use chocolate chips or chocolate bars of your choice.
- If you don't have graham crackers you can try Ritz crackers or Saltines. Arrowroot Cookies or Social Tea biscuits are other options too.
- Drizzle caramel or peanut butter over the graham crackers instead of chocolate if you like.
Storage Tips:
- To keep the chocolate set, store the chocolate-covered graham crackers in an airtight container or cookie tin with parchment paper between each layer.
- If you're storing them for more than a few days, consider placing them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
- For the perfect gift add Graham crackers to a cellophane bag tied with ribbon or a twist tie to keep them airtight.
