Recipe Tips!
Ways to crush graham crackers
- If you want the graham crackers finer, you can put them into a food processor or Vitamix and pulse them for a few seconds.
- You can put graham crackers in a plastic baggie and use a rolling pin to crush them.
- Or if you don’t have a plastic baggie, you can simply keep the graham crackers in the package, unopened, and gently hit with a mallet until crushed. Be careful though, the sides may open, so do it slowly, a little at a time.
