I made this exact recipe and everyone ALWAYS loves it!!! I make the crust a little different now though. CRUST: 6 tbsp of melted butter, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 1 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs. I was originally going to cook a recipe that I had gotten off of the internet when I stumbled onto this recipe on the side of a WalMart brand of graham crackers. I have not used any other recipe ever since!!! I bake it for 25 minutes so that it doesn't crack.
