-Graham Cracker Sandwiches

Recipe makes 4 square cookies

1 wax-wrapped package Graham Crackers
1/4 cup butter
2 tbsp. cream or milk
1 tbsp. cocoa
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Remove crackers from wrapper, break each in two. These two square pieces will make one sandwich. Continue breaking crackers, you will have 8 squares. Set aside.

In a small mixing bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy.

Add powdered sugar and cocoa into a sifter and sift into the butter bowl. Combine together on low speed of mixer. Add vanilla, cream 1 tbsp. at a time until filling is a spreadable consistency.

Spread a thick layer of filling on four crackers, top with remaining four crackers.

This recipe has many variations, here are a few fun ideas!

*In a double boiler or microwave, melt 1-8 oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips. Dip each sandwich half way into the chocolate, tap lightly side of bowl to drain off extra chocolate. Place on waxed paper to cool and harden.

*Use marshmallow cream in the center, dip in white chocolate.

*Mix 1 tbsp. peanut butter into chocolate filling mixture, dip tops only in melted chocolate and decorate cookie tops with crushed Reese's Pieces.

*Omit cocoa, make plain vanilla filling, add a thin layer of strawberry jam on filling.

The variations are endless, limited only by your imagination.

As a child I was too fearful to eat hot lunch in the school cafeteria. My understanding mother made my lunch each day so I could get through lunchtime without tears. In these lunches she placed a little handmade cookie, Graham Cracker Sandwiches! Oh how I loved sitting there in my classroom/make-shift lunch room eating those, crisp on the outside and soft in the middle, treats!

Mama's wonderful Graham Cracker Sandwiches reassured my little scared heart. I'm sure they will do the same for your children, reminding them how much they are loved!
