Directions
Prepare Your Workspace:

Melt the Chocolate:
Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler to melt the chocolate gently.
Dip the Graham Crackers:
Use a fork or dipping tool to submerge each graham cracker into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage.
Lift the cracker out and let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Add Toppings (Optional):
Lay the chocolate-covered graham crackers on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle with desired toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
Set the Chocolate:
Allow the graham crackers to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate them for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Serve and Store:
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

FAQs
How do I prevent the chocolate from seizing?
Ensure all utensils and bowls are completely dry before melting the chocolate. Water causes chocolate to seize and become grainy.
Can I use white chocolate instead of dark or semisweet?
Yes, white chocolate works well and adds a sweeter flavor. You can also use it for drizzling over dark chocolate.
Can I make these vegan?
Absolutely! Use vegan chocolate chips and ensure the graham crackers are dairy-free.
What other toppings can I use?
Get creative with toppings like crushed candies, freeze-dried fruit, or edible glitter for a festive look.
How do I gift these?
Package them in decorative cellophane bags or boxes with a ribbon for a perfect homemade gift.
