Mmmm bet it would be tasty with the flavored graham crackers also. Thanks for sharing the recipe & I too was wondering about frosting flavors. Everytime I think of graham crackers I think of smores!

Usually I don't frost it...however you can do a cream cheese but its kind of hard to get the frosting smoothly onto the cake

Thanks for the update, I know I always appreciate it when people keep track of their posts to see if there are any questions. I guess we really just need to bake this cake...lol Now I need to remember the graham crackers & find out who borrowed my food processor.

When i do frost it...I go for cream cheese, unless my man is around, he likes it frosted in vanilla.
