Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s jump right into making this luscious dessert! First, I like to prepare the graham cracker crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a tablespoon of sugar. Once it’s all mixed together, press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your 9×13 inch baking dish to form a solid crust. I use the back of a measuring cup to get it nice and even. This crust is the perfect base that gives you that satisfying crunch with every bite. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
