Glynda's Graham Cracker Treats - An Easy Dessert Recipe for Kids

 I try to include a few recipe ideas or activities for children at the holidays or during the summer break.  In the below recipe older kids can help by breaking up graham crackers and lining them up on the pan.  They can also help with measuring and mixing ingredients.
