Great recipe! For kmandres, Nabisco makes packaged graham cracker crumbs, probably other brands as well. Check out the baking supplies aisle at your supermarket!

These were wonderful!! My 7 year old daughter did most of this, they are that easy. We live in the country and we did not happen to have regular graham crackers and substiuted chocolate graham crackers and they were good too!!

These peanut butter eggs are easy to make and taste delicious. I had a hard time saving enough to bring to our Easter gathering because my teenage daughters kept eating them!

Very very good. Quick and easy. I needed to add a little water to mine to get the right consistency. Will definitely make this again.
