At first glance, graham crackers seem so simple. They are crunchy, sweet and…kind of plain on their own. But when combined with the right ingredients, (think s’mores) they can elevate many desserts to next level. Part cookie and part cracker, the humble graham cracker also pair deliciously with peanut butter, fruit, whipped toppings and caramel – your typical dessert staples.
