Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor twist, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract to the melted butter mixture. If you prefer, you can substitute walnuts for pecans, which will give a different yet delicious nutty flavor. Make sure to crush the graham crackers into uniform pieces so they absorb the melted mixture evenly.
