Notes

The recipe calls for 1 stick of butter to mix with the graham cracker base. My experience is that 1 stick is not enough. I’ve increased it a bit but am thinking that 2 sticks is the target.

Also, I like to use a variety of sweets as toppings (white chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, heath bar chips, butterscotch chips, m&ms, coconut) in light amounts.

The chopped pecans on top balance the intense sweetness.
