Procedure:

The Day Before the Party:

The Crust:

Grind up your own crumbs from crackers. We’re not sure what’s in the pre-made crumbs - but it’s a huge difference from making your own.

We put them into zip locks and beat away. Good for those when nothing has gone all that well. Smash!!

Mix with the butter and sugar, then press into a 9 inch springform pan.

Bake at 350°f for 7 minutes.
