    Today we tried a tip from Giada De Laurentiis. We did not melt the butter like Martha’s recipe but allowed it to come to room temperature — very soft. We then put the graham cracker crumbs and the butter in our food processor and pulsed until they were combined.

    The butter mixed in better and the crust was easier to work with than when using melted butter.
