I made these on Sunday, and let me tell you… they are DELICIOUS! The entire batch is almost gone between my husband and I devouring them! I unfortunately only had 1 box of simple mills Graham bites and not the full amount of graham cracker sheets- but it was still just as tasty!! Can’t wait to make these again ASAP!
