When is National Graham Cracker Day?

Wednesday July 5th

The s'more is worth 1/3rd of the s'more, which is commemorated on July 5th. It's National Graham Cracker Day! If you were busy making s'mores over the Independence Day holiday, I'm sure you saved a few crackers. Hopefully, you only needed a few crackers.

Sylvester Graham first introduced the barely sweetened cracker as a health food. The Presbyterian minister invented the cracker 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 hopes 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.. When lightly toasted, Crushed graham crackers blended with butter and pressed into pie tins, or springform pans make excellent crusts. In a parfait, Graham crackers layered with yogurt and fruit taste delectable.. When it comes to crumb toppings, oats, brown sugar, butter, and crushed graham crackers mixed together and lightly toasted will always be satisfying.
