In recent years they’ve discontinued the chocolate graham crackers! When I learned that last year I was so bummed and have had a really hard time finding a good substitute for this recipe. This year I saw the chocolate teddy grahams and thought they’d do nicely. Well, they were OK but nothing like the original chocolate graham crackers. If you find something that substitutes well let me know! I think next year I’m going to try Oreo cookie crumbs and see how well that does.
