I haven't tried them yet but it could be a good idea to use chocolate graham crackers instead, then sprinkle the graham crackers over the bars like a crunchy topping! -
I have to agree with Sasha, this has good flavor but a problem with consistency. I ended up adding the orange juice mix to the milk and beating it, because I was not getting anywhere near even soft peaks. After adding the orange juice with gelatin I got soft peaks (heading towards medium but not quite). I ended up adding most of a carton of fat free cool-whip to fix the texture. They turned out ok and the kids enjoyed them, but not something I think I would go through again. Nice to try, though. -
The flavor is great. They are perfect for a summer evening. I was just disappointed in the texture. I couldnt get mine to thicken. I just layered my crackers in a pan and poured it on top then layered it again. Maybe I did something wrong. Otherwise they were great and easy.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mother of three and live in central Pennsylvania. My children were very active in after school activities and found we weren't spending anytime together at meal time. In 1998, I decided to start cooking my dinners in a crockpot so that we could have a home cooked meal together once everyone came home. My children now get so excited to see what we are having to eat and love the smell when they walk in the door. My family calls me the crock pot queen. LOL I use my crock pot everyday of the year.

<br>My three children are now in college and before they come home they request their favorite meal. I still continue to cook in the crock pot for my husband and I. It is nice after a long day to know your meal is ready. It also helps in keeping my grocery bill down. With zaar, I can print my shopping list and that is all I purchase is the ingredients on that list.

<br>Now, my two daughters have been crock pot cooking while in college. They find it is easy to cook for the themselves and their friends. It is an easy way to have friends over for dinner after classes
<br>
<br>I still love trying new recipes and purchasing cookbooks, especially crock pot cookbooks.
<br>
<br>Happy Cooking!
