Notes
Tips for making this recipe:
You can use a premade graham cracker crust if you want but they are typically round. This recipe is baked in a rectangle or square pan which is why it's best to make your own
I like to use a variety of popular candy bars. My favorites to use as toppings in this recipe are Reeses, Snickers, and Twix.
