Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, let’s gather all the ingredients and equipment to make this process seamless! Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), then line your baking pan with parchment paper so the bars don’t stick and make clean-up a breeze. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt. It should resemble wet sand—moist and crumbly. Press this mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan to create the crust. Once that’s done, pop it into the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until it’s just golden brown.
