Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the mixture. If you don’t have graham crackers, crushed digestive biscuits can be a great substitute. You can also experiment with different nuts like pecans or walnuts for added texture. For a fun twist, try drizzling melted chocolate over the cooled dessert for added sweetness. This dessert is perfect for gatherings, similar to Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies(Soft).
