09 Step
Recipe View
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature or in a cool, dry place, away from strong odors.
For an extra touch of elegance, sprinkle the chocolate-covered crackers with finely crushed peppermint candies or sea salt before chilling.
Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture. Avoid chocolate chips, as they contain stabilizers that can affect melting.
If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Ensure the crackers are fresh and crisp for optimal results. Stale crackers will absorb moisture from the chocolate.
