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 a food processor to finely crush the graham crackers. This will help create a smooth and even crust.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can place the graham crackers in a large resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Be sure to press the graham cracker crumbs firmly into the bottom of the pan. This will help prevent the crust from crumbling.
- Chill the cookie bars for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help them set and hold their shape.
- For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil in the crust.
- Add a layer of chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit to the batter for a fun variation.
- To make the cookie bars even more decadent, top them with a layer of melted chocolate or caramel.
