Unicorn Sprinkle Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers

Unicorn Sprinkle Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers disappear (almost) magically as soon as they are set out! Coated in creamy white chocolate and sparkling with sprinkles, hearts, and stars, these dipped graham crackers are a party in every bite.

Monday Box readers are well aware of my obsession with sprinkles. So it should be no surprise that I pay rapt attention to sprinkle trends.

Though I admit that it’s odd that there even is such a thing as "sprinkle trends", spend any time on a visual social media, and you can't miss it. Galaxy sprinkles were the rage even before the upcoming solar eclipse. My Galaxy Brownies twinkle with celestial sparkle.

Unicorns and unicorn sprinkles are an even more ubiquitous decorating craze. The only surprise is that I haven't posted a cookie adorned with unicorn sprinkles sooner!

For those not fully conversant in sprinkle jargon, a definition of unicorn sprinkles is open to creative interpretation. Often, unicorn sprinkles are mostly pink, lavender, yellow, and aqua-blue.

Sometimes, the colors are a muted pastel and other times bright, almost neon, colors are used. The mix usually includes metallic stars, because what good is magic without stars?

I used only nonpareil sprinkles (plus hearts and stars) on these Unicorn Sprinkle Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers, but jimmies, sparkling sugar, and pearls of various sizes are all welcome.

Homemade chocolate covered graham crackers are easy to make and so much more economical than buying ready-made. The fastest and easiest no-bake method uses packaged graham crackers, though making homemade grahams allows for an infinite choice of size and shape.

Choosing a delicious tasting chocolate makes a big difference. For chocolate flavor, candy melts won't do. I recommend using white chocolate that you would eat on its own.

Instructions

This is an overview of the instructions. The full instructions are in the recipe card below.

1. For 6-8 graham cracker squares, about 2 cups of melted white chocolate  are required. Melt white chocolate discs in a shallow bowl in the microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir then return to the microwave if not completely melted. Watch melting white chocolate carefully, as it burns easily.
2. Use a fork underneath the cracker to dip in the melted white chocolate. Tap off excess chocolate, then place on a wax paper lined baking sheet.
3. After dipping 6-8 grahams, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate. While the chocolate is setting, divide the remaining melted white chocolate into three small bowls. Color each with oil based candy coloring. (Do not use regular food coloring! The chocolate with seize and harden, and will be unusable.)
4. When the coated grahams have set, remove from the refrigerator and re-melt the colored chocolate.
5. Place a few random drops of each color onto a graham. Use a knife or offset spatula to gently swirl the colors to cover the top of the cracker. Sprinkle immediately.

Storage

Wrapped in a cellophane bag with a bit of ribbon, Unicorn Sprinkle Chocolate Graham Crackers stay fresh for at least 2 week. These chocolate dipped treats make such beautiful gifts.
