Baked

In 13x9 inch baking pan melt butter in the oven. If using a glass dish, you can melt butter in the microwave. Crush or powder graham crackers into crumbs in a food processor.

Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool and cut into bars or 2" squares and store at room temperature.

Vary the recipe by substituting chocolate chips or nuts with candy coated pieces, dried cranberries, raisins, etc.
