Instructions
- In a 9 x 13-inch pan, combine melted butter and crushed graham crackers to form the crust.

- Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until set.

Tips & Substitutions
For a variation, consider adding nuts or dried fruits to the chocolate chip layer for added texture. You can substitute the butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option. If you prefer a richer taste, try using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Make sure the graham crackers are finely crushed to ensure an even crust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cracker for the crust?
Yes, you can experiment with other types of crackers like digestive biscuits or even pretzel crusts for a unique flavor. Just ensure they're crushed well to form a cohesive base. Remember that the flavor will change slightly depending on the cracker used.
How do I know when the dessert is done baking?
The dessert is done when the edges are set and the center is slightly firm to the touch. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean, with just a few moist crumbs. If it looks too jiggly, give it a few more minutes in the oven.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare it a day in advance and store it covered at room temperature. Just allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving. This can enhance the flavors as they meld together overnight.
