FAQs
Can I use regular sugar instead of powdered sugar?
Yes, but the texture may not be as smooth. Powdered sugar dissolves better, making the mixture creamier.
Can I make these bites ahead of time?
Absolutely! These graham bites can be made a day or two in advance. Just keep them stored in the refrigerator.
What if I don’t have graham crackers?
You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers for a different flavor profile.
