Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 12 low carb graham crackers
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the natural peanut butter for 20-30 seconds to make it more spreadable. Stir until smooth and evenly consistent.
- Using a knife or offset spatula, spread a generous layer of peanut butter evenly across each low carb graham cracker. Ensure the coverage is uniform and reaches close to the edges.
- Place the peanut butter-covered graham crackers on the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the peanut butter to firm up slightly.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the graham crackers from the refrigerator. Using a dipping fork or spoon, carefully coat each cracker completely in the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage.
- Gently tap the fork or spoon on the bowl's edge to remove excess chocolate, then place the chocolate-covered cracker back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all crackers are coated, return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
- After setting, transfer the chocolate-covered peanut butter graham crackers to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your peanut butter is slightly warm for easier spreading, but not hot.
- Use a dipping fork or chocolate-dipping tool for the most professional-looking chocolate coating.
- For extra smoothness, let your melted chocolate cool slightly before dipping to prevent running.
- If you want a firmer chocolate shell, add a tiny bit of cocoa butter to your melted chocolate.
- For variation, sprinkle some chopped nuts or sea salt on top of the wet chocolate before it sets.
- Always use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Chill your crackers between each step to help maintain structural integrity.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain crispness and prevent melting.
