I found this recipe at tollhouse.com. I absolutely loved the flavor of the graham crackers with the peanut butter. I could have left the chocolate out and been completely happy. This recipe is a keeper, and I'd make them again. Thanks for posting Juenessa!

I really wanted to love these but there was something with the graham cracker crumbs in this that we did not care for. This is a good recipe just not to my family's liking. They were very easy and quick to make. Thanks Juenessa.
