Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups Crushed Graham Crackers (or digestive biscuits)
- 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (or dark chocolate)
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Red or Pink Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
- Heart-Shaped Cookie Cutter (optional, for shaping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated. The mixture should be thick but moldable.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth. Alternatively, you can melt them over a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Form the Patties:
- Take small portions of the graham cracker mixture and roll them into balls. Then flatten them gently into discs.
- If using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, place it on a piece of parchment paper, and press the mixture into the cutter to form the heart shape.
- Dip in Chocolate:
- Dip each graham cracker patty into the melted chocolate, covering the top completely. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back onto the parchment paper.
- If desired, sprinkle the patties with red or pink sprinkles for an extra festive touch.
- Chill and Set:
- Place the patties in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Serve:
- Once set, the patties are ready to serve! Enjoy these sweet treats with friends, family, or as a special Valentine’s gift!
Notes
- You can add a pinch of salt to the chocolate for a sweet and salty combination.
- These patties are easy to customize—feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate (white, milk, or dark) or add in some crushed nuts for texture.
- If you don’t have a heart-shaped cutter, you can simply form the patties by hand into any shape you prefer.
