Open in Pepper →A Sleeve Of Grahams Goes A Long Way
A box of graham crackers sits in the pantry for months, and then one afternoon it turns into dessert in twenty minutes flat. Crushed into a crust, layered with peanut butter, or covered in brown sugar and butter, it does more work than any cracker has a right to.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when company is coming and there's no time to bake a layer cake, or when the kids need something on a plate after supper without a trip to the store.
Every recipe here leans on that box: Buckeye Graham Crackers, Graham Cracker Crack, graham cracker toffee, Strawberry Cheesecake Graham Cracker Bites, Chocolate Marshmallow Graham Cracker Dessert, plus Lemon Mousse and Sweet Potato Pie in graham cracker crusts, and a how-to for the crust itself.
Quick Tips
- 1
Crush crackers in a bag
Seal 9 full sheets in a zip-top bag and roll with a rolling pin until sandy — about 1 minute, and no food processor to wash.
- 2
Press the crust firm
Use the flat bottom of a measuring cup to pack crumbs into the pan, then bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes so it holds a clean slice.
- 3
Watch the toffee closely
Boil the butter and brown sugar 3 full minutes, stirring, so it thickens enough to set crisp instead of staying chewy.
- 4
Chill before cutting
Give cracker bars and no-bake layers at least 2 hours in the fridge, then cut with a warm dry knife for neat squares.
