Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavors, consider using almond butter instead of peanut butter morsels. You can also substitute the nuts with sunflower seeds for a nut-free version. Make sure to stir the graham cracker crumbs thoroughly with the melted butter to ensure an even base. If you prefer a chewier texture, reduce the microwaving time slightly during the second step.
