Let’s Dish: About This Christmas Recipe

Main Ingredients: Chocolate almond bark, vanilla almond bark, honey graham crackers, optional holiday sprinkles.
Quick Steps: Melt chocolate, dip graham crackers, drizzle with vanilla, add sprinkles, and let set.
Total Time & Yield: 30 minutes; makes 16 servings.

Why Our Recipe

This chocolate-covered graham cracker recipe stands out by using almond bark for both the chocolate and vanilla coatings. This ensures a smooth, glossy finish that’s less prone to melting compared to regular chocolate.
Many other recipes rely solely on melted chocolate, which can sometimes result in a less stable coating.
Additionally, the inclusion of a vanilla drizzle adds a contrasting sweetness and visual appeal, setting it apart from versions that omit this extra layer of flavor. The option to top with holiday sprinkles further personalizes the treat, making it festive and adaptable for various occasions.

Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers raw ingredients that are labeled

When it comes to indulgent snacking, chocolate graham crackers are an undeniable classic.

The sweetness of the rich chocolate pairs perfectly with the crunchy texture of the graham cracker to create a combination that melts in your mouth.

To make this crunchy treat, you’ll need:

16 ounces of chocolate almond bark
8 honey graham crackers broken in half (you will get 16 – 2½ x 2-inch graham squares)
4 ounces of vanilla almond bark
Optional garnish of holiday sprinkles

Key Ingredient Notes

CHOCOLATE ALMOND BARK — Used instead of regular chocolate, almond bark melts smoothly and hardens with a glossy, professional finish. It’s less prone to melting, making it ideal for coating treats that need to look great and stay intact.

VANILLA ALMOND BARK — This addition provides a light, sweet contrast to the chocolate, adding visual appeal and extra flavor. It’s easy to drizzle and complements toppings like sprinkles beautifully.

Ingredient Substitutions And Additions

GRAHAM CRACKERS: You can substitute the honey graham crackers for chocolate or cinnamon graham crackers in this easy recipe.

ALMOND BARK: You can substitute the vanilla almond bark for a colored melting candy wafer or even dark chocolate wafers.

This way, you could customize the look of your chocolate-dipped graham crackers to coordinate with any holiday, sports, baby showers, or school celebrations.

TOPPINGS: There are endless topping options to make these graham crackers your own:

Crushed pecans, walnuts, or almonds add crunch and nutty flavor.
Finely chopped coconut for a tropical twist;.
A pinch of sea salt adds a salty-sweet contrast.

How To Make This Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers Recipe

STEP ONE: Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.

STEP TWO: In a microwave-safe bowl (or the tray that comes with your almond bark if it is microwave-safe), add the chocolate almond bark and microwave on high for one minute.

Stir, then continue to heat in 30-second intervals stirring each time, until your chocolate almond bark is fully melted and smooth.

Use a serrated knife and, ever so lightly, with a back-and-forth motion, “saw” the graham cracker sheets in two on the cut line on the cracker. This will result in a lot less breakage than just trying to snap them apart.

STEP THREE: Dip one (2½ x 2-inch) graham cracker into the melted chocolate. Flip it over to coat both sides.

STEP FOUR: Use a large fork (a meat fork works great!) to gently lift the chocolate-covered graham cracker out of the chocolate and place it onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Repeat until all the graham crackers have been coated.

You can use a second fork to gently push the coated graham cracker off the fork used for dipping and onto the parchment paper.

If you have any excess drippings of chocolate coating on your crackers, you can use a butter knife or a toothpick to carefully run along the edges of the graham crackers while the almond bark is still wet. This will make it easier to clean up the edges of the graham crackers once the almond bark has hardened.

STEP FIVE: Allow the chocolate-covered graham crackers to sit on the counter for 15 minutes to harden the chocolate.

STEP SIX: While the chocolate-covered graham crackers are setting up, you will melt your vanilla almond bark in a small microwave-safe bowl for one minute.

Stir and heat again for another 30 seconds or until the vanilla almond bark is fully melted and smooth.

STEP SEVEN: Drizzle the melted vanilla almond bark decoratively over the chocolate-covered graham crackers using a large spoon.

STEP EIGHT: While the vanilla almond bark is still soft, you can sprinkle on the optional sprinkles for added decorations.

STEP NINE: Allow the vanilla almond bark to set for an additional five minutes before placing the chocolate-covered graham crackers onto a serving tray or a container.

How To Serve

Chocolate graham crackers are a versatile treat that can work as an afternoon snack, midnight munching, or even breakfast!

Make them extra scrumptious by serving them with fresh fruits like ripe strawberries, sliced kiwi, or juicy oranges.

If you’re really feeling indulgent, add scoops of rich vanilla ice cream, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle with roasted almonds to create an irresistible dessert platter.

This decadent treat would make the perfect gift for friends and family during the holiday season.

Add them to a cellophane bag or cookie tin along with our chocolate peanut butter Ritz crackers or cashew brittle, and tie them with a pretty ribbon.

Ingredients

16 ounces chocolate almond bark

Notes

Use a serrated knife and, ever so lightly, with a back-and-forth motion, “saw” the graham cracker sheets in two on the cut line on the cracker. This will result in a lot less breakage than just trying to snap them apart.
If your chocolate almond bark comes in a microwavable tray, then I suggest placing that tray onto a microwave-safe plate before melting. This will make it easier to handle the tray of hot almond bark.
If you have any excess drippings of chocolate coating on your crackers, you can use a butter knife or a toothpick to carefully run along the edges of the graham crackers while the almond bark is still wet. This will make it easier to clean up the edges of the graham crackers once the almond bark has hardened.
