Step-by-Step Instructions
To start the process, I take my crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar, and toss them into a mixing bowl. Using a fork, I blend everything together until the crumbs are coated and resemble wet sand. Once that’s done, I firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom of my 9×13 inch baking dish, ensuring it’s even and compact. I find this helps create a solid base for the cake. The sweet, buttery aroma wafts throughout my kitchen, making my mouth water in anticipation. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
