#1. Peppermint Crunch White Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers
These Peppermint Crunch White Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers are the ultimate Christmas gift for friends and family! So yummy!!
Why We Love These Peppermint Crunch White Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers
3 ingredients, super easy!!! All you need is graham crackers, melted white chocolate and crushed peppermint sprinkles or crushed candy canes or peppermint candy! These are really pretty and they taste out of this world!
All you do is dip each graham cracker into melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed peppermint, let them set and magic *Presto* – You have a classy, classy treat!
This Peppermint Tres Leches Cake is a fun peppermint cake you may enjoy as well! We love peppermint!
Other Variations
- Peppermint not your thing? Melt any flavor of chocolate and sprinkle with chopped nuts, toffee, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, chocolate and/0r peanut butter drizzles, cookie crumbles, etc…seriously. pretty much anything goes.

Ingredients You Need
- 10 oz. Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers or Chocolate
- 8 graham crackers
- Crushed peppermint
Instructions How to Make Peppermint Crunch White Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers
- Place Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers in microwave-safe container.
- Microwave chocolate for 1 minute. Stir thoroughly (product keeps its original shape until stirred). If not completely melted, continue to microwave at 15 second intervals and stir until smooth. Overheating will cause wafers to burn.
- Dip graham crackers one a time coating the graham cracker on both sides, using a fork and place on parchment paper.
- Add crushed peppermint to top.
- Let sit at room temperature until set.
#2. Smooth Vanilla Bean Fudge
This dreamy Vanilla Bean Fudge is so smooth and delicious! Add some add-ins like cherries, nuts or leave as is! If you don’t have vanilla bean paste, you can just use vanilla extract!
I love using the vanilla bean paste as it just gives it an extra layer of vanilla essence that is really heavenly, in my book when it comes to elevating our white chocolate candy recipes!
More Variations
- I used candied cherries to give it a pop of color. They are sweet, like what is used in a fruit cake, but doesn’t have as much flavor as maraschino cherries do. If you opt to use maraschino cherries, make sure you drain and dry them well with paper towel before chopping, but you could use dried cherries, as another option if you want a tart element.
- Chopped California walnuts were used, but you can use almonds, pecans, pistachios or even black walnuts or none at all. Just go all out vanilla homemade fudge. It’s amazing and a huge crowd pleaser!
- You can also substitute white chocolate for milk, dark or peanut butter chocolate chips. Get creative!

#3. Sweet and Salty Vanilla Butterscotch Swirl Bark
This Sweet and Salty Vanilla Butterscotch Swirl Bark is a bark you won’t forget after an indulgence or 3. White Chocolate is melted with some good quality vanilla extract, then butterscotch chocolate chips are melted and the chocolates are swirled together.
Chopped pretzels, toffee and assorted salted roasted nuts are sprinkled on top of the bark. It’s optional, if you want to add some melted chocolate drizzle on top or leave it like it is. It’s beautiful either way.
More Variations
- You can change it up by adding some dried cherries or cranberries for a little color and tartness for another level of yumminess!
- You can add anything salty you want on top, any kind of pretzels, any kind of nuts, like cashews, salted peanuts, pistachios, pecans and so forth!
- Making bark is one of the easiest candies you can make and who doesn’t love chocolate? And speaking of chocolate, you can make it your favorite by choosing peanut butter, milk chocolate, or mint chocolate chips as substitutions for different flavor combos! Fun, right?? Yes!!
