GRAHAM CRACKER COOKIE BARS
I got this recipe off of the back of a graham cracker box, and I could not believe how yummy they were! I have not made them with plain graham crackers, so I just used my own best judgement in estimating the additions of granulated sugar and cinnamon to compensate.

Tips:
- Use high-quality graham crackers for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using stale or broken crackers.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.
- Be sure to press the graham cracker crumbs firmly into the bottom of the pan. This will help to prevent the bars from falling apart.
- Don't overbeat the filling. Overbeating can cause the filling to become dense and rubbery.
- Chill the bars for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of butter and cream cheese in the filling.
- Add a layer of melted chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the top of the bars before baking for a decadent treat.
