When Sylvester Graham first introduced the slightly sweetened cracker, he intended it as a health food. The cracker was invented by the Presbyterian minister in the early 1800s as part of his "Graham Diet" initiative. They were made from whole wheat graham flour with added bran and wheat germs. He said that his snack would eliminate sinful cravings..

Today, makers use bleached white flour and blend a variety of flavors, including honey, cinnamon, and chocolate.. They also come in smaller bite-size snacks and fun shapes..

While making a delectable snack on their own, they also make excellent dessert ingredients. kers mixed with butter and pressed into pie tins, or springform pans make excellent crusts when lightly toasted. In a parfait, Graham crackers layered with yogurt and fruit taste delectable. Oats, brown sugar, butter, and crushed graham crackers mixed together and lightly toasted will always be popular.
