It seems like every day we are having a potluck or event that we need to share a dish – welcome to the holiday season! Don’t get me wrong, I adore Holiday Baking, but sometimes I need a dessert dish that I can prepare a day or two ahead of time when we are busy. One of my favorite Holiday Recipes is a fun twist on a very popular sandwich. Yes, a pie that is created with a sandwich in mind! Before we talk about that yummy pie, I want to introduce you all to my favorite pie crust. When I make pie I also make my crust, I promise it is the easiest recipe and tastes amazing!

Well now that you have your pie crust – homemade pie crust that is! It is time to make that amazing Peanut Butter & Jelly Pie that your friends will ask for again. Like I said, during the holidays we are always preparing items for parties, get togethers and potlucks but sometimes I need to make those dishes a couple days ahead of time.

Honey Maid Graham Crackers are the perfect snack and craft to have on hand this holiday season. Not only can you do a ton of baking with graham crackers but you can also have fun with the kids by making Graham Cracker Houses. Once our pie was complete I had some left over graham crackers so we had a little snack of graham crackers and milk (one of my husbands favorite!) and made these!!
Cute right!?!?!?! We had a great time as a family doing this fun Christmas tradition. Thanks to this awesome pie recipe that doesn’t take long at all I had time to enjoy the kids as well! That is success in my book. This season is busy; time to find ways to make time for fun like this.
I had most of these items in my pantry. All you need to make your Graham Cracker Houses is icing, candy, sprinkles, candy canes and a creative brain! We let the kids run this activity. We had to help them get their houses standing but once we did that, they got messy and festive and had a great time! Bath night was moved to that night by the way! 😉
Jude’s favorite part was making the sprinkles snow on his house! He also ate most of his house before we were done! HA! Silly guy!
Teagan needed a little more help but her and Daddy made the cutest little “Olaf House”. She kept saying her house was Olaf’s house because of the snowmen gummy’s we added to the house. She was so proud of her work! Such a fun night with the family!
Work of art! I am so happy that we decided to use the Honey Maid Graham Crackers for more than snacks. This is an activity for Christmas that I think we might do again soon. Sure it is messy but we all had fun! Great memories made!
