Graham Cracker Sandwiches

Here are a few ideas for creative fillings to go between two graham cracker squares:

Creamy Peanut Butter Filling

• ½ cup butter or margarine at room temperature
• 4 cups of powdered sugar
• 4 tablespoons light cream or milk
• ½ cup peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla

Beat together softened butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar. Add the remaining powdered sugar and the cream or milk, mixing one cup of powdered sugar followed by one tablespoon of cream or milk at a time. Add in the peanut butter and vanilla. Adjust the consistency to make it more spreadable by adding milk a little at a time.

Cream Cheese and Jam Filling

• Cream cheese at room temperature
• Variety of jams—strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, etc.

Spread cream cheese and desired jam evenly on graham cracker halves.

S’mores Filling

• Marshmallows
• Chocolate bars, broken into square pieces

Layer marshmallows and chocolate between graham crackers. Heat for 10 to 12 seconds in microwave oven to soften the marshmallows and chocolate.
