Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1. 1

   Write your secret messages on small strips of paper, then fold or roll them to be smaller than a graham cracker.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Using a food-safe pen is a good precaution, even though the paper isn't meant to be eaten.

2. 2

   Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

3. 3

   Create a double boiler by setting a heatproof bowl over a small saucepan filled with about an inch of simmering water.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water, as this can scorch the chocolate.

4. 4

   Add the chocolate chips and optional coconut oil to the bowl.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: The oil will help the chocolate melt smoothly and give it a nice sheen.

5. 5

   Stir the chocolate mixture frequently with a spatula until it is completely melted and smooth.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

6. 6

   Once melted, carefully remove the hot bowl from the saucepan and set it on your work surface.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

7. 7

   Lay a secret message on one graham cracker and place a second cracker on top to form a sandwich.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

8. 8

   Holding the cracker sandwich firmly, dip three of its four sides into the melted chocolate to seal the edges.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Leave one side un-dipped for now so you can hold it without getting messy.

9. 9

   Place the partially-dipped cookie on the parchment-lined sheet and repeat for the remaining crackers and messages.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

10. 10

    Dip the final, un-dipped side of each cookie into the chocolate to seal it completely.

    Yaklaşık 1 dk.

11. 11

    If using, immediately decorate the wet chocolate with sprinkles.

    Yaklaşık 1 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Work quickly as the chocolate will begin to set.

12. 12

    Let the cookies rest until the chocolate has fully hardened, about 30 minutes at room temperature or 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

    Yaklaşık 30 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Placing them in the fridge is faster, but room temperature setting can prevent the chocolate from 'blooming' or getting a whitish coating.
