These came out lovely. A great way to use up some graham crackers I've had for a while (which were whole wheat). I couldn't resist adding 2 tbsp of honey because my grahams were not the honey or the cinnamon kind, but followed the recipe exactly otherwise and it worked like a charm. The outside had that wonderful almost crust-like bit that is so sweet and lovely to bite into. I need to get some apricot preserves because those would be perfect on these. Thanks for the recipe!
