Recipe Notes

Sharon’s Expert Tips:

  • I used crunchy peanut butter because that’s what I had, but creamy will work too!
  • I used Keebler Club Crackers.
  • The hardest part of this entire recipe is spreading the graham cracker mixture over the first layer of crackers. An offset spatula works best for this.
