Valentine Teddy Graham Treats Recipe
Introduction
Valentine Teddy Graham Treats are a fun and simple way to celebrate the season with a sweet twist. These adorable snacks combine crunchy Teddy Grahams, colorful Valentine M&Ms, and smooth melted chocolate for a delightful bite-sized treat.
Ingredients
- Teddy Grahams (enough for desired quantity)
- Valentine M&Ms Candy
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Step 1: Arrange Teddy Grahams on a baking sheet so they are ready for assembly.
- Step 2: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 20-second increments, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Step 3: Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag or a zip-top plastic bag. Snip a small corner to create a fine opening for squeezing out the chocolate.
- Step 4: Use a small drop of melted chocolate as “glue” to attach one Valentine M&M candy onto the front of each Teddy Graham.
- Step 5: Let the chocolate dry and harden completely before serving or packing.
Tips & Variations
- Use white chocolate chips instead of regular chocolate for a festive look.
- Try adding a tiny dab of peanut butter under the M&M for extra flavor and stickiness.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, use a toothpick dipped in melted chocolate to place small dots.
Storage
Store the assembled treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep them away from heat or humidity to prevent the chocolate from melting. If the chocolate softens, chill briefly in the fridge before serving.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use other types of candy instead of Valentine M&Ms?
Yes, mini candy pieces like Skittles or other colored chocolate candies work well as long as they are small enough to attach to the Teddy Grahams.
How do I prevent the chocolate from melting while working?
Work in a cool room and stir the chocolate frequently while melting to keep it smooth. If it starts to harden before you finish, gently reheat in short bursts.

Ingredients
- 1 cup Teddy Grahams
- 1/2 cup Valentine M&Ms Candy
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips, melted
Instructions
- Prepare Teddy Grahams: Arrange the Teddy Grahams evenly on a baking sheet or a flat surface, so they are ready to be decorated.
- Melt the Chocolate Chips: Place 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Prepare Chocolate Piping Bag: Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag or a resealable plastic zip-top bag. Cut a small opening at the tip or corner of the bag to control the flow of chocolate.
- Attach Valentine M&Ms: Using the melted chocolate as ‘glue,’ place a small dot on the front of each Teddy Graham and gently press a Valentine M&M candy onto it. Repeat for all pieces.
- Allow to Set: Let the treats rest at room temperature until the chocolate hardens and secures the candies in place before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute any festive candy in place of Valentine M&Ms to fit other occasions or preferences.
- Make sure the chocolate is not too hot when piping to avoid melting the candy coating on the M&Ms.
- Store these treats in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them crisp.
- For quicker setting, you may place the tray in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
