Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers are sweet and crunchy, made with graham crackers and melted chocolate, and the PERFECT no-bake treat!
Everything is better when it’s dipped in chocolate, and we’ve got you covered with Chocolate Covered Strawberries, Chocolate Covered Oreos, and Chocolate Covered Pretzels too!
Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers and the perfect dessert to make when you’re prepping for a fun night of S’mores, or even to serve with a bowl of simple vanilla ice cream.
There’s no baking required, and it’s totally kid-friendly because they’ll love helping to dip the crackers and decorate!
You can also wrap these in little plastic bags with decorative ribbon to give out as gifts or party favors. In the past I’ve used dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate to cover the crackers, then decorated with chopped nuts or crushed candy.
These are also the perfect treat to add to a lunch box or to take on trips.
Frequently Asked Questions
Put your chocolate disks in a glass bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, taking the bowl out to stir each time. Stop when it’s melted and creamy, being careful not to burn the chocolate.
Or, you can place your chocolate on the stove in a double boiler. Stir continuously until the it has completely melted. Remove from heat once it’s done. If it starts to get too hard when you’re dipping, you can add it back to the double boiler to microwave again for a few seconds until smooth.
Try dipping or sprinkling the tops of your dipped graham crackers with sprinkles, a drizzle of caramel and flaky salt, melted marshmallows, chocolate shavings, crushed peppermint candy, mini chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs (crush faster in a food processor). Use the opposite flavor of chocolate to decoratively drizzle onto the crackers. For example, make a milk chocolate cracker with a white chocolate drizzle.
If you don’t have chocolate disks you can use chocolate chips, but your chocolate covered grahams just won’t be quite as smooth as real melting chocolate or what you’d find at a professional chocolatier.

Tips for Making Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers
- You can replace the chocolate disks with almond bark, which is like white chocolate but has a smoother texture and richer flavor.
- Use chocolate graham crackers in place of using a chocolate bar for s’mores!
- Add a few drops of coconut oil to thin out the chocolate when melting. Keep adding until you get the consistency you’re looking for.
- Make a sandwich out of two crackers with Nutella, peanut butter, or melted marshmallows in between before dipping in chocolate.
- Make sure to use parchment paper or wax paper, or your chocolate might stick to the baking sheet while it hardens.
- If you don’t want to use graham crackers, try making chocolate dipped Gingerbread Cookies.
How to Store Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers
- Serve: Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers can be kept at room temperature as long as it is mild. The biggest problem is going to be any heat in your home melting them or anything too cold causing the chocolate to bloom.
- Store: Store these at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 weeks. It’s a good idea to layer them with parchment paper, to prevent them from sticking to each other.
- Freeze: It is not recommended to freeze them, because the chocolate may get condensation when it comes back to room temperature, and they won’t look good any longer. In a pinch you can store them for longer if you look for the coolest part of your home.
Ingredients
- 12 graham cracker sheets cut in half
- 16 ounces semisweet chocolate disks
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments.
- Dip the graham cracker halves, tapping with a fork, scrape most of the chocolate off the fork and place onto parchment paper to harden.
- Place remaining chocolate into piping bag and squeeze over graham crackers and allow to harden fully before eating.

Hi. I absolutely love dark choc covered Graham crackers.
Nabisco used to make these when I was growing up. Miss that cookie so much!
Any brand of chocolate I should look for and where would I find it? I live in suburban NY just north of Nyc.
Thanks so much.
I have the brand I love to use in the recipe card (click on the green link and it’ll take you to the amazon link). Merckens Coating Melting Wafers. Enjoy!
How do you hold the crackers while dipping? Do you use tongs or fingers?
How do you get the entire cracker covered, while holding it?
I placed the graham cracker on a fork and lowered it into the bowl to dip and then lifted it back up once it was fully covered. Hope this helps!
Add a drop or two of peppermint oil for minted chocolate grahams, taste like the Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie
That’s a great idea, thanks!
Great idea!
Oh, that shiny surface, DELICIOUS!!
So glad you enjoyed them!
I have seen these at high end chocolate shops and they are always so expensive. It is great to know I can make at home for a fraction of the price. Yum!
These are definitely more budget friendly!
These look like they would be great for making smores with!
Sounds like a yummy idea!
You are so right…Everything is better when it is dipped in chocolate. My kids would love these. Will have to make for New Year’s Eve!
Enjoy! Happy New Years!
These are such a cute idea, would make a great gift!
Definitely!
I know my kiddos would love this!
It’s a total parent win!!
