Common Questions About Chocolate-Covered Graham Crackers
Can I Use Different Types of Chocolate?
Definitely! Feel free to experiment with milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate, or even dark chocolate to find your favorite flavor. All of these will taste amazing on a graham cracker.
Do I Need a Double Boiler to Melt the Chocolate?
Not necessarily. You can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. If you prefer, a double boiler can also be used.
How Long Does It Take for the Chocolate to Set?
Typically, it takes a couple of hours for the chocolate to set completely at room temperature. If you’re in a hurry, you can speed up the process by placing the crackers in the refrigerator.
Storage
These crisp graham crackers dipped in chocolate make the perfect gift for the holidays. Add them to a gift basket and watch the smiles appear!
Refrigerator
You can store them in the refrigerator, but there isn’t really any need for that. They’re best enjoyed at room temperature for that perfect crunch.
Freezer
For longer storage, place them in a Ziploc bag or airtight container and freeze. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
Tips
I love adding crushed candy canes to my chocolate-covered graham cracker squares. That little bit of mint gives them just the right amount of pop!
- Use Quality Chocolate: Choose good-quality chocolate wafers or bars for easy melting and a smooth finish.
- Avoid Water: Make sure no water gets into the chocolate as it can cause it to seize.
- Thin Out the Chocolate: If the chocolate is too thick, add a bit of coconut oil or shortening to achieve a silky texture.
- Let Excess Chocolate Drip Off: After dipping, gently tap the cracker to let any excess chocolate drip off.
- Decorate While Wet: If you’re adding toppings like sea salt or sprinkles, do it when the chocolate is still wet so they stick.
Ingredients
These are very simple ingredients for a very easy recipe. You probably won’t even need to save the recipe card. After this, you’ll have it memorized!

How to Make Chocolate-Covered Graham Crackers
Using a microwave to melt the chocolate makes for easy dipping when it’s time for that. Let’s level up these graham squares!
- Unwrap the graham crackers and break them apart into squares – if you are using traditional graham crackers. They are also available in squares instead of rectangles. You can use those and skip this step.
- Place the chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals – stirring in between each interval until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip each graham cracker square into the melted chocolate, coating both sides well.
- Place the cracker on a parchment-lined baking sheet for the chocolate to set. If you want to add garnish to the crackers at this stage – you can do it now while the chocolate is wet.
- Once the chocolate has set, transfer the remainder of the melted chocolate into a piping bag or decorator bottle fitted with a fine point round tip. Squeeze the melted chocolate onto the coated crackers in your desired pattern. Add sprinkles or other decorations if desired.
- Allow to cool and firm completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.
