My DH really enjoyed this made as a lemon pie.He doesn't like hard graham cracker crusts. I made it with soft margarine and didn't melt it, just used a fork and mixed it in. It came out very crumbly. I had to scrape it off the pie pan for each slice as it was still just crumbs, it didn't hold together. I liked being able to make in the micro. I will made it again and use butter next time.I baked for 3 min. and 30 sec. in my 800W micro. --UPDATE. We ate 3/4 of the pie while it was still warm. The crust firmed up nicely when it got cold and held together fine.

This was so easy to make! I had less crumbs then called for and I messed up the proportions and used too much butter thus making my crust stick to the pan. But it was so easy and tasty that I know this is my new way to make graham cracker crusts. No point in baking them! Thanks so much for another winner, Paula!

Easy, fast, and so delicious, despite having only 2 ingredients. We were picking up every last crumb of this crust to eat. I doubt I will ever buy a premade graham shell again, this was much better.

Made a very good crust for a last-minute recipe. I will use this regularly, especially now that it's way too hot to get my oven going. This worked well with Marie biscuits/cookies (in lieu of graham crackers, which I could not lay my hands on).

Too easy! I'll never buy a graham cracker crust again. I only have a mini food processor, so I made the crumbs in batches and then mixed the butter in with a fork in a medium-sized bowl. My pie pan was 9.5in, so I increased the recipe to 12 crackers and 7 tablespoons of butter. I microwaved for 2 minutes, then cooled. Perfect! Thanks for this great time-saver.

This was so easy to make, my DGD and I didn't have any problems. I have even made it a few times without her supervision, and it turned out great!! I was recomending this recipe to a member in Q and A when I realized I hadn't reviewed it yet. I will never again waste my money on a store bought crumbled Graham Cracker crust. Thanks, Paula. jim

Yum! I liked that I could control the ingredients. Added some almonds and the nutty/graham flavor was out of this world! Easy, easy, easy!

Great recipe! Very fast and easy way to make a delicious graham cracker crust. Stays tender but holds together well. I made this tonight with Silky Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie and will be using this recipe again and again. Also a vast improvement over the ready made crusts that have been in the baking aisle for who knows how long. Thanks, Paula!
