One of our kiddos favorite treats are graham crackers. They're easy to make and they don't contain anything we don't want them to. I went through a couple of recipes before landing on this one. These crackers are crispier and firmer than the boxed variety. And they have a much more pronounced honey flavor. They were my favorite. And definitely hers. They also make a more wholesome S'mores. Because when you're toasting marshmallows and chopping a chocolate bar, wholesome is the first thing on your mind, right? The batches are pretty generous for a toddler snack so I only have to make the dough once a month. After the dough chills, I divide it into fourths. I bake one batch of crackers and freeze the other 3 portions of dough. I get ~8 crackers per batch and the crackers last about a week in a zipper bag after baking.
