These are really good. I used to make a similar recipe when I was back in Canada. You can't get graham crackers over here in England so I used digestive biscuits instead, which did leave some gaps inbetween the biscuits, but those crunchy bits that resulted were every bit as delicious as the cookies themselves. This is a great way of making a plain biscuit into something spectacular! Very simple, but the results are fantastically delicious!
