Loved this! My wife substituted splenda for the sugar and reduced the calories to 74 per bar.

We loved this dessert! It's so delicious. However, I have to report that my blood sugar jumped quite high the morning after eating it. Tried not having this for dessert next night blood sugar back to normal.

It says i tsp. vanilla, but not when to add in. My first screw up. I didn't get all ingredients ready first. I noticed the vanilla after I poured my cream cheese mix on top of graham crackers. By the way, I think you left out butter to mix with the crumbs to make a crust. So, ooverall, not very good. Maybe it was the lack of vanilla

Hi there! We're sorry that this recipe didn't turn out well for you. The Test Kitchen took a second look at it and made a few changes that we hope you'll appreciate. We hope that you give this recipe a second chance now that the Test Kitchen has added light margarine to the ingredient list.

Thank you for your question! There are typically two squares in a sheet of graham crackers. Simply crack them along the perforated line right down the middle and you're set. Enjoy!
