Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Graham Sandwiches in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you prefer them chilled, place them in the refrigerator for a firmer texture. Avoid stacking them directly on top of each other to prevent sticking. Reheating isn't necessary, but if you want a warm treat, you can briefly microwave them for about 10 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cracker?
Absolutely! While graham crackers are traditional, you can experiment with other types such as chocolate or cinnamon-flavored crackers for added taste. Just keep in mind that the flavor balance may change, so choose a cracker that complements the sweetness of the icing and peanut butter.
How can I make these gluten-free?
To make Grammy Grahams gluten-free, simply use gluten-free graham crackers or any gluten-free cookie that has a similar texture. Additionally, ensure that the vanilla icing and peanut butter are also certified gluten-free. This way, everyone can enjoy this tasty treat without worry.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the individual components ahead of time. Spread the icing and peanut butter on the crackers, then assemble them just before serving to maintain their crispness. If stored properly, the components can last in the fridge for up to three days, allowing for quick assembly when you're ready to enjoy them.
