Variations for Dietary Preferences
- Simple Mills Sweet Thins– these are my favorite gluten free graham cracker alternative. Feel free to use any graham crackers, or even pretzel crumbs here. OR try my homemade gluten free graham cracker recipe!
- Butter – can easily replace with a vegan butter stick
- Cream cheese– you can replace with vegan cream cheese. I like Miyokos and Kite Hill Brands
- Plain Greek Yogurt – you can replace with vegan greek style yogurt, like Kite Hill brand
- Coconut Sugar– you can replace with dark brown sugar or brown sugar substitute, like Lakanto brand
Eat them with your hands, or enjoy with a fork, but either way, it’s going to be hard to stop at just 1!
