1 1/2 cup of crushed graham crackers (about 3 sheets of crackers)

Graham Cracker Crumble
13
Preheat oven to 350 F.
14
I use a food processors to crush the crackers.
15
If you don’t own a food processor, another method that works place crackers into ziploc bag and roll over the bag with a rolling pin.
16
Don’t crush the crackers to much, you need it to stay into crumbles for the consistency needed for this recipe.
17
Place crushed crackers in a bowl, add brown sugar, and then stir together until well blended.
18
Add melted butter and stir into graham cracker mix until well incorporated.
19
Place mixture into bake safe dish (preferably glass) ungreased.

Place into oven for only 10 minutes.

Remove and allow to cool completely.

About
This dessert right here…all I can say is…Destination Greatness! I have to tell you all the truth about this dessert. I dreamed about the ingredients a week before I attempted to make it. I honestly didn’t think it would come out well, but I gave it a try anyway. I am glad that I did. The best description I can give you about this dessert is…imagine a sinful version of a parfait. Relate this dessert to Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Away“! The graham crackers is the guitar blaring in the intro, the whipped cream is the melody and strawberry sauce is Lenny singing “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah”.
