If your love for s'mores carries into the holiday season, then this Peppermint Graham Cracker Bark with Marshmallows is just the recipe for you. Layers of flavor build upon each other with the crunchy graham, soft and sticky marshmallows, rich chocolate, and seasonal peppermint!
36each cinnamon graham crackers1 box (14.5 oz) or 3 sleeves
10ozmini marshmallows
20ozsemi sweet chocolatedairy-free
4teaspoonsavocado oil
10ozpeppermint candy crushed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Then, line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Break the graham crackers in half, then place them on the sheets close together.
Sprinkle the marshmallows evenly over the top, then place in the oven to bake for 3 to 5 minutes (or until marshmallows are soft and starting to cook.)
While the graham crackers are in the oven, melt the chocolate. Add the avocado oil to the chocolate in a glass bowl, then heat in 30 second intervals (about 90 seconds total), stirring in between until melted.
Remove graham crackers from oven and immediately pour the chocolate over the top. Use a spatula to evenly distribute the chocolate, then top with the crushed peppermint.
Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes (or more if necessary) to harden. Then, break up and enjoy!
Notes
Ingredient Swaps
To make this recipe fit your lifestyle, consider these swaps:
dairy-free: make sure to use dairy-free chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows are usually dairy-free but always double check as manufacturers will vary as far as ingredients
gluten-free: swap for gluten-free graham crackers or pretzels
vegan: use cinnamon graham crackers made without honey and vegan marshmallows
Recipe Notes
This recipe is really hard to mess up, I promise! Keep these tips in mind to make it wonderful each time.
Watch the oven time, you don't want them to get that campfire burn taste! Once the tops start looking a bit soft and "gooey", remove the baking sheet.
When melting chocolate, be sure to do so in the intervals mentioned above. Burning the chocolate will result in a bitter taste.
Once you have the peppermint unwrapped, use a metal ladle or your meat mallet to crush them in a ziplock bag (it makes the least amount of mess.)
How to Store Your Peppermint Chocolate Bark
If enjoying within a few days, keep it in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
If saving to enjoy 5 days or later, store in the airtight container in the freezer (however you can also store immediately in the freezer if you like the crunchier, cold chocolate taste.)
If gifting, I recommend putting in boxes versus bags as it will hold better. Keep in a cool area of your kitchen until delivering.
