Graham Cracker Crumb Crust Mix
"The recipe was posted on an email homemaker group I belong to. I make alot of pudding pies and knew this would come in handy. Its much less expensive to make your own than to buy the ones at the store. The chocolate ones make the best crusts. The cinnamon ones are good also-just omit the cinnamon."

Made for PAC Spring -09 Such a simple recipe and such a good idea. It's great to have on hand when wanting to use a crumb crust, sure saves a trip to the store. I used my blender to crush and it went great - just be sure and crush in small batches. A very nice blend of cinnamon & sugar though I did use Splenda to cut down a little on the calories. I really liked that there is also a recipe for making the actual crust on the bottom and used that to make my recipe#362732 - Thanks for a very nice idea.
