Ingredients
2 cups of animal crackers (use plain or lightly sweetened for best results)
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (can substitute white or dark chocolate chips for variety)
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional; for smoother melting)
1/2 cup colorful sprinkles or edible glitter (choose your favorite colors to match the occasion)
Directions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper for easy cleanup.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the crackers: Hold an animal cracker by one end and dip it halfway into the melted chocolate. Gently tap off the excess.
- Add the sparkle: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the dipped portion with colorful sugar or edible glitter. Work quickly to ensure the sprinkles stick.
- Let them set: Place the coated crackers on the prepared baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature, or speed up the process by refrigerating for 10–15 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange the crackers on a festive platter and serve!
Notes
- Serve these sparklers on a tray lined with shiny gold or silver paper for added New Year’s Eve flair. Pair them with a warm cup of cocoa or a sparkling beverage.
