Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s kick things off by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). While that’s heating up, grab your mixing bowl and combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. This will create a beautiful, crumbly crust that’s going to hold everything together. Once mixed, press this into the bottom of your lined baking pan to form an even layer. The aroma of buttery graham crackers wafting through my kitchen always brings a smile to my face! If you’re wondering how much to press, I find using the bottom of a measuring cup helps create a nice, even layer. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
