Spooky Graham Crackers aren’t truly spooky. All five of the Halloween characters are actually rather cute. The chocolate covered grahams are more likely to cause smiles than screams. These easy Halloween treats are simple to make with just melted chocolate, candy eyes, and sprinkles!
I was not compensated for this post, however I did receive free product from Chocoley.com for use in this recipe. All opinions are 100% my own. I only use and recommend products I believe in.
I am not a fan of the gory, bloody, scary stuff for Halloween. My adult kids, especially my son, will tell you that when they were growing up, my ban on costumes that involved weapons or gore was non-negotiable.
My daughter wasn’t interested in costumes that were against my guidelines, so I don’t think she felt limited in her Halloween costume choices. My son, though not generally into scary things, was sometimes frustrated by my decisions.
He ended up wearing costumes we created representing characters from movies or literature for Halloween: Gondolf from The Hobbit, Obi Wan Kenobi from Star Wars, and Neo from The Matrix.
Somewhere in middle school, he asked for a squirrel costume, representing a creature from a video game. A cute squirrel from a video game sounded reasonable to me.
It turned out that video game squirrel was an evil rodent with numerous behaviors that were not up to the standards of Obi Wan or Gondolf! That may have been that last year we did Halloween costumes!
Here on The Monday Box you will only find Halloween treats that fall under the “adorable food” category. There are absolutely no evil squirrels or weapons of destruction.
Instead you can find chocolate covered peanut butter balls in the shape of pumpkins or cats. Even my ghosts and mummies are best described as cute stuff to nibble on.
Spooky Graham Crackers are easy Halloween treats representing 5 different Halloween characters. All of the designs are fast and simple. In no time, you can make enough chocolate covered grahams to fill a care package or for an entire classroom party!

TIPS FOR MAKING SPOOKY GRAHAM CRACKERS
- I use dipping and coating chocolate from Chocoley.com for easy preparation and delicious flavor. The consistency is perfect for making chocolate coated grahams. In addition, their products are ethically sourced, gluten free, and tree nut/peanut free.
- Be sure to use only candy coloring with chocolate. Regular food coloring will cause chocolate to seize, turning it thick and cement-like.
- Several of these designs require chilling the dipped grahams before adding final chocolate details. Be sure to bring the grahams back to room temperature before adding additional chocolate. If the cookie surface is cold, the melted chocolate details will firm immediately on contact and won’t be workable.
- This can be an easy gluten free treat! Be sure to check all ingredients for gluten free certification.
- If you prefer to use less chocolate coating, the chocolate can be spread on top of the crackers instead of dipping them.
