I’ve always been very picky when it comes to eating anything sweet especially after I started baking and realized how much fat is unknowingly being put in out body with the insane amounts of butter and sugar that each dessert requires.
After my mom made this “healthier” alternative to cookie bars, I knew that this would be the best substitute to fit my needs.
These graham cracker bars are the perfect blend of sweetness, crunchiness and chewiness. They can pretty much be made by anyone and are guaranteed to leave everyone asking you how you made such a wonderful treat!

Very, very yummy! Easy!
thank you! glad you enjoyed it!
I used to get these in care packages when I was in college. I am now 74, and make them for my grandchildren. A favorite old recipe! The only difference is that instead of layering, I was taught to mix everything together (except the butter), then press the dough on a foil-lined cookie sheet. I now use parchment paper, which is a game changer. Wouldn’t be Christmas without these on the cookie tray! Wrap them in small foil packets and they keep beautifully. I just wish Graham crackers were still made from the old recipe; they are now like sawdust with little flavor.
