I’ve been doing a slow but steady purge of High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) from our house. A large part of that reduction was eliminating soda from my diet. I’m far from perfect on this, and even though some items still live in my pantry and creep into my daily diet (I might have a little thing or Wheat Thin Fiber Select crackers and Baked Lays), I feel really great about making that adjustment. More importantly, I don’t want Sophie to grow up on a steady diet of HFCS.
But she has had some. She loves graham crackers, and I bought my favorite brand at the grocery store without reading the label or giving it much thought.
I think I’ve bought my last box of store graham crackers. I’m in love with these.
Seriously, you need to try these if you’ve ever loved a graham cracker. I won’t repost the recipe since Deb has done a beautiful job of laying out all the details here. And yes, they have butter. And yes, they’re sweet. But truth be told, if I’m going to share a graham cracker with my daughter, I’d rather it be this one than one of the high fructose crackers from the grocery store cookie aisle.
Oh, and that s’more: the Dark Chocolate Dreams spread on the bottom?
Magic in a jar, kids. I highly recommend it.
