Sylvester Graham first introduced the slightly sweetened cracker, he intended it as a health food. The Presbyterian minister in the early 1800s developed the cracker 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 they're 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 between yogurt and fruit tasted delectable. When it comes to crumb toppings, oats, brown sugar, butter, and crushed graham crackers mixed together and lightly toasted will always be popular.
