slo’s MONDAY poll - Graham Crackers

[BlueStarryHat]

I don't care for them, really. But now that I'm thinking about it, my sister makes a cannoli dip that calls for graham crackers to be dipped into it and that's pretty good.

 

[E&Cmom]

I like them. We have the regular ones and my older daughter uses them mostly to make s’mores.

 

[amcnj]

I always liked them but rarely have them anymore. I had them more when I was young.

 

[evilmommie]

I pretty much only use them for desserts.
Love all the different flavors to use for fancy s’mores during the summer.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Love them! I used to buy them a lot when DS was little, but not as much now. All flavors are good.

We keep Honey Graham Crackers in the house, mostly for making pie crusts though, not to snack on.

A fan, I have them but wish they came in mini packs like Ritz has so I could just have 1 or 2 and not end up wasting them.
Cinnamon are delicious!
Plain for fire pit S'mores!
Chocolate with a dot of no fat, no sugar canned whipped cream and a slice of strawberry, surprisingly good.
Also used for cheesecake and such but I tend to not open them for a snack because they go stale fast.

I like them, and sometimes in specialty candy stores I buy very delicious dark chocolate covered ones!

 

[Metro West]

I like them but rarely eat them anymore.

I went "other" on them because I just do not eat them. I don't dislike them, but I don't like them enough to spend my calories on them.

Lol, lots of thoughts on graham crackers.

First, is that they are a staple in the hospital. Individual packs of two squares. When I get them for patients I try to get the ones that aren’t smashed and fall out as crumbs. Staff eat them as snacks, too. We have little things of peanut butter but most patients prefer them plain. Staff like them with peanut butter. I usually offer milk, too, but most stick w water, juice or ginger ale.

We always had them at home growing up and I keep them on hand, myself. I like all varieties but usually stick with plain. I feel like they’re a relatively healthy snack (If you don’t eat the whole sleeve ).

A family on my street had 8 kids and they were only allowed three graham crackers after school each day, that was it. (They liked to visit my house where the good stuff was.) When you think of it, though, they probably went through close to a box a day!

@slo, will you share your eclair recipe?

It‘s super simple!
Just make sure you allow it to chill in the fridge for a long time. If you serve it to soon the consistency is not as stiff as it should be.

The daughter of a friend of my DH bakes GF desserts and uses GF ones to make my DH blueberry and cherry cheesecakes, but as a rule I don't generally buy them, only because I don't really buy ANY cookies.

To me graham crackers are comfort food. After a snack of graham crackers with old-fashioned malt-flavored Ovaltine, the world just seems right.

 

[barb969]

I’d rather eat card board.

 

[barb969]

sorry, double post

 

[Owlpost23]

Love them buttered.

 

[BayouQueen]

Love them buttered.

That reminds me of another thing. Growing up, my mom would always scrape the cake frosting bowl and give us that last bit on a graham cracker as she baked. I still do that.
