Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 sheets graham crackers about 1 sleeve
  • 12 oz good quality white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies about 8-10 starlight mints or 3-4 candy canes
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon coconut oil if needed to thin chocolate

Equipment

  • freezer bag
  • rolling pin or meat mallet
  • microwave-safe bowl (or double boiler)
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper or silicone mat

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Crush peppermint candies in a freezer bag using a rolling pin until you have fine crumbs and small crunchy pieces, then set aside.
  2. Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals or using a double boiler until smooth, being careful not to overheat; if too thick, stir in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of coconut oil.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and break graham crackers into individual squares.
  4. Dip each graham cracker square into the melted white chocolate, ensuring full coverage, and let excess chocolate drip off.
  5. Immediately sprinkle crushed peppermint generously over the wet white chocolate, pressing lightly to adhere.
  6. Transfer the covered graham crackers to the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until the white chocolate is completely set and firm.
  8. Once firm, remove from the fridge, break apart any stuck crackers, and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

For best results, use good quality white chocolate as it melts smoother and tastes better. Ensure the peppermint is finely crushed for better adherence and a more pleasant texture. These make excellent gifts during the holidays!
