Ingredients
There are just a few ingredients to this simple Christmas dessert.
- Semi-Sweet chocolate chips - semi-sweet is the used to offset the sweetness of the almond bark. However, if you prefer milk chocolate chips, that can be used as well.
- Almond bark - in the baking section at the store.
- Graham crackers - any brand will work.
- Candy cane/mints - crushed.
The process
First, you will need to melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. The chocolate needs to be melted slowly so not to over cook the chocolate. I usually melt the chocolate for about 30 seconds then stir. Then for another 25 seconds and so on.
After the chocolate has melted, place squares of graham crackers in the chocolate, one at a time. I broke the graham crackers in half so they were not rectangles, but squares.
After dipping the graham crackers into the chocolate, place them on waxed or parchment paper. The crackers can also be on a cookie sheet with the paper on top so it can be easily put into the refrigerator. To harden the chocolate, it isn't necessary to put it into the fridge, but it does make the process go faster.
The almond bark step
So, want to know how to get the almond bark onto the semi-sweet chocolate? The key is to let the chocolate harden completely. When you dip the grahams into the almond bark, the chocolate will be hard but the almond bark will be warm. So you want the chocolate cold as not to run the two chocolates together.
Dip the chocolate covered grahams into the melted almond bark (according to package directions) and cover the grahams as little or as much as you want. I wanted the chocolate/almond bark to compliment each other in color contrast as well as flavor so I only covered the ends with the almond bark.
After dipping the graham in the almond bark, sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top. Peppermints can be used or take a candy cane and crush it.
After letting the grahams firm up in the fridge, then you can serve and enjoy!

For 30 seconds intervals, allowing for a little less time if needed. Always stirring in between time in microwave!
It takes about 30 minutes to chill.
You can store this in an airtight container. I would recommend in the fridge, however, as long as it isn't near the stove or someplace warm, it will be fine.
I take the cracker and lay it in the melted chocolate. Then I use a fork to flip it over and make sure it is covered. I then scrap off any excess.
Make sure the chocolate is completely hard, then take the graham cracker and dip it into the almond bark, quickly. It won't take long to coat the end.
