Graham Cracker Cake

This recipe definitely makes me think of days gone by. When I hear the words 'graham crackers',my mind quickly returns to my childhood. I remember when one of my favorite snacks was graham crackers and milk. Just to take those plain graham crackers and dip them in cold milk. They would get slightly soft and tasted fantastic. Today we are bombarded with snacks. Children have so many to choose from. Perhaps, I will share the remaining graham crackers with my children. We can dip them in milk and talk about their day. Hope yours is good-
