Easter is such a special time filled with joy, colorful decorations, and of course, delightful treats! One of my all-time favorite sweet snacks to whip up during this season is Easter Graham Cracker Crack. It’s so easy to make and packs all the crunchy, creamy sweetness that you crave, while also looking quite festive. Just thinking about it brings back memories of my family gathering around the table, excited to munch on this colorful treat after a day of egg hunts. I can’t wait to share this fun recipe with you!
Not only is this treat ridiculously delicious, but it also offers a great opportunity to get the kids involved in the kitchen. They can help with spreading the chocolate and decorating with those delightful candies. The best part? It’s almost impossible to mess up, so let’s dive right in!
What’s in Easter Graham Cracker Crack?
– Graham Crackers: These crispy squares form the base of our delightful treat. They add just the right amount of crunch that pairs beautifully with the melted chocolate.
– White Chocolate: Rich and creamy, the melted white chocolate is the star of the show, holding everything together with its luscious sweetness. I adore using good-quality baking chocolate for a smoother finish.
– Easter Candies: This is where you can let your creativity shine! I recommend mini chocolate eggs, jelly beans, and festive sprinkles. They not only add flavor but create a beautiful, colorful topping that’ll make everyone smile.
– Cooking Spray or Parchment Paper: You’ll need this to line your baking sheet to prevent sticking—you don’t want any heartbreak over losing your delicious creation!
Is Easter Graham Cracker Crack Good for You?
Now, let’s be honest here—this treat is definitely more about fun than health!
Graham Crackers: Generally made with whole grain, they contain some fiber, which is a tiny win, but let’s focus on the deliciousness!
White Chocolate: While it does contain sugar and fat, it’s super indulgent and gives that sweet satisfaction we crave around Easter.
Easter Candies: They certainly don’t win any health awards, but hey—it’s a celebration, right? Just be sure to enjoy in moderation, especially if you’re watching those sugar levels.
Ingredients List
– 1 box of graham crackers (usually about 14-16 squares)
– 1 ½ cups of white chocolate chips
– 1 cup of mini chocolate eggs (or any festive candies you love)
– Sprinkles (optional, but we want some fun colors!)
– Cooking spray or parchment paper (for easy removal)
*Serves: 8-12 people, depending on how quickly you want to share!*
How to Make Easter Graham Cracker Crack?
1. First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It may not be where the magic happens, but we want to get everything warmed and ready.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or give it a good spray with cooking spray. This will help your graham crackers come off without a hitch!
3. Break the graham crackers into rectangles that will fit on your baking sheet in a single layer. Place them down, side by side, until the sheet is covered.
4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips. Heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely smooth. Be careful not to overheat it!
5. Once melted, pour the gooey white chocolate over the graham crackers, spreading it evenly until they’re covered with a delightful chocolate layer.
6. Now comes the fun part! Sprinkle the mini chocolate eggs and sprinkles all over the top. Go wild, your inner child will thank you!
7. Pop the tray in the oven for about 5–7 minutes. You just want the chocolate to warm slightly; be careful not to cook it!
8. Remove from the oven, and let it cool on the counter for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely. If you’re in a hurry, you can place it in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
9. Once firm, break into pieces and enjoy this crunchy Easter treat with your family and friends!
Delightful Serving Suggestions
Graham Cracker Crack can be stored in an airtight container, but let’s be honest—it won’t last long! You could even package it in cute little bags tied with a ribbon for a perfect Easter gift or just a sweet surprise for friends.
For a twist, try using milk chocolate or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate for a different flavor profile. Let your creativity run wild with the candies; consider adding coconut flakes or dried fruits for added texture!
I’m so excited for you to try this delightful Easter treat! It’s sure to bring smiles and bursts of joy, just like the beautiful season itself. Let me know how yours turns out! Happy Easter baking!
