Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, I combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and chopped pecans in a medium bowl. Mixing this together gives off such a wonderful nutty aroma—it’s truly mouthwatering! Once it’s well combined, I press this mixture firmly into the bottom of my 9×13 baking dish to create a delicious crust. This part is so satisfying, I really enjoy the feeling of creating a solid base to hold all the layers together. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
