Graham crackers are the main ingredient to s’mores, but that’s not the only dessert they are good for. Here are some other desserts with graham crackers that are really worth making. I hope you enjoy eating them!
1. Graham Cracker Éclair Cake
Who doesn’t love eclairs? They are so good, and you will love them. This is one of my favorite desserts with graham crackers that I know you’ll want to eat more of.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of vanilla instant pudding Jello
- 1 1/2 cups of cold milk
- 15 graham crackers, broken in half so you have 30 squares
- 1 tub of cool whip
- 1 cup of chocolate frosting
Steps:
1. Beat the pudding and milk in a large bowl with a whisk for about two minutes. Let it stand for five minutes. Cover the bottom of an 8-inch square pan with graham cracker squares, overlapping the squares as needed.
2. Stir the cool whip into the pudding. Spread half over the graham cracker squares, and then cover the cool whip with ten more graham cracker squares. Repeat until you use all of the graham crackers and the cool whip.
3. Refrigerate for three hours. Then spread the chocolate frosting over the cool whip. Enjoy!
2. Easy Graham Cracker Toffee
This toffee is really easy to make, it only has five ingredients. And it tastes like real toffee. This is another one of my favorite desserts with graham crackers.
Ingredients:
- 15 full graham crackers
- 1 cup of unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of chopped almonds or pecans
Steps:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place the graham crackers in a single layer, touching, on the baking sheet. Set it aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar together over medium-high heat. Bring butter and brown sugar mix to a boil, and then simmer for four minutes, stirring constantly. Pour the mixture evenly over the graham crackers. Bake for 8 minutes.
3. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top of the graham crackers. Let the chocolate chips sit for two minutes so they can melt. Spread the melted chocolate with a knife or a rubber spatula. Sprinkle almonds or pecans on top.
4. Let the graham cracker toffee sit for about two hours, or until the chocolate hardens. Break the toffee into pieces once the chocolate is set. Enjoy!
