I make a similar style of candy with saltines instead of grahams and in addition to (or instead of) almonds, I usually top with “holiday treats.” For Christmas it’s candy cane bits, for Thanksgiving it’s Reeses Pieces (my hostess’ favorite) and for random desserts I use anything from pretzels (salt and chocolate is wonderful) to M&Ms. But grahams are my favorite snack and I never thought to substitute them in! I’m going to try this new version this year (my hostess is also a s’mores junkie like me) and may add a few mini marshmallows just for kicks!

Alison – Sorry this happened. I’m not sure why besides that sugar attracts moisture which would cause the sogginess. I had luck with freezing mine. I did notice that once they were exposed to air for an extended period of time they got softer but they were still delicious.

Hi there! thank you for sharing this recipe! I made it and followed your instructions to a T. but mine became soggy after just one day. I stored it in an air tight plastic container. Do you have any tips on how to keep it crunchy for a few days? Thanks so much!
