FAQs
Q: Can I use cookie crumbs instead of graham crackers?

A: Use a double boiler. Heat a small pot of water and place a heat-safe bowl on top. Stir the chocolate until it melts.
Q: Can I freeze these treats?
A: Yes. Wrap squares well and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature.
Q: What if the candy melts harden too fast while drizzling?
