Easy Step-by-Step Instructions for Peep Graham Crackers – Bringing the Easter Treats to Life
- Microwave chocolate for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to stir after every minute until the chocolate is smooth.
- Place a graham cracker into the melted chocolate, turn it over with a spoon to cover all sides, then lift it out with a fork and shake off the excess chocolate place it on wax paper or parchment paper lined baking trays.
- Add the Bunny Peep to the top, followed with sprinkles. Do these one at a time, because the chocolate will be setting up.

Chocolate Tips for Making the Perfect Treats
- You can also use white chocolate melts/chips/bar and color the chocolate with oil based candy coating
to also use less chocolate, but create more colors.
- For simple colored chocolate, use Wilton’s Candy Melts
easily, without any fuss or Ghirardelli Chocolate Candy Coating
. Wilton has a melting pot you can use, if you desire.
- If the chocolate is too thick for dipping the graham crackers, add a 1/2 teaspoon or 2 of coconut, vegetable or canola oil to thin it out.
- To prevent the chocolate from seizing, make sure water does not come into contact with the chocolate and that you do not burn the chocolate while melting it.
- Timing is essential. When dipping the graham crackers into the chocolate, once you’ve placed them on the parchment lined baking pans, they will set up pretty quickly. So work quickly when adding peeps and sprinkles, so they adhere to the chocolate when making this chocolate graham cracker recipe!
Storing Homemade Easter Chocolate Graham Crackers
Store fresh easter peeps graham crackers up to 2 weeks completely sealed. Make sure they are completely set before stacking them together.
