My friend Alex and I have an ongoing joke about Graham Crackers. One day I called her while she was trapped in her ex-boyfriends dorm and while we were chatting I was eating my favorite cracker, THE GRAHAM. Well, she told me how much she wished she had some graham crackers to eat and that was the point my mind began to wander about all of the wonderful graham snacking possibilities out there. Aside from s'more's, which are an american classic, I have thought up some pretty crafty ways to eat the tasty golden cracker.
Graham Crackers with Home made FrostingMy roommates were shy to the idea at first, but my mother made this
often when I was a child and it turned into my favorite late night treat.
Anytime a cake or any other desert requiring we add frosting was made,
my mom would place some aside for the graham crackers. Place the frosting in a platter and surround it with a bunch of crackers for dipping. It is the greatest and tastes yummy with any frosting flavor. Oh, and my roommates LOVED it ;)
Graham Crackers with Butter or Margarine
It does not sound as good until you try it, but this combo is equally as satisfying as the frosting, minus the sugar. The perfect blend of sweet and salty, this is an ideal mid day snack.
Graham Crackers with Peanut Butter
For those of you who make it a point to avoid carbohydrates, this is a good filler when your body needs a little extra push. One day I was bored out of my mind and decided to make a different kind of snack. I grabbed the Grahams and Peanut butter and stared spreading. To my delight, it tasted similar to a peanut butter granola bar, but it was a little lighter and just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth and stomach.
I was shy to trying this, but I figured if peanut butter worked out, there was not a reason Jam or Jelly would not. For some reason, this tasted just like a mini tart of sorts. The graham was like the crust and the Jam was the savory yet tangy addition. It is like a desert with 1/5 th of the health issues. Hurray!
Not to mention, this yummy cracker comes in cinnamon as well, just in case you want to add a holiday twist to snack time. Enjoy! and don't forget to "Winc" while eating your authentic graham cracker snacks.
