FAQs

Can I use regular graham crackers instead of chocolate graham cracker crumbs?

Yes, you can use regular graham crackers, but the flavor will be slightly different. If you want more chocolate flavor, consider adding cocoa powder to the crumbs.

Can I use other types of chocolate?

Absolutely! You can experiment with dark chocolate, white chocolate, or flavored chocolates like caramel or orange for a fun twist.

They should be set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. They’ll firm up as they cool down and chill in the fridge.
