Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until they resemble wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your baking dish to form a crust. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant. This time, I could hardly keep myself from sneaking a taste of the crust as it cooled! The buttery scent wafting through the kitchen was absolutely divine. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
