Apricot Graham Snackers
Many people limit their graham cracker intake to situations involving camp fires, chocolate bars, and marshmallows. But those people are missing out; the world of graham cracker possibilities goes so much deeper than your traditional s’more.
Take these Apricot Graham Snackers for instance. They’re a satisfying mid-day treat, no logs or newspaper required. And while I thoroughly enjoyed these as an adult, I also think they’d be perfect as an after-school snack for the youngsters in your life. 
I got this idea from the monthly Whole Foods flier, which I scour regularly in search of a Larabar coupon. But this recipe caught my eye even before I found my 50 cents off any two Larabar varieties, primarily because of the dried apricots. I will try almost any recipe involving those lovely little orange shrivels I love so much.
All chopped up.
I tossed my dried apricots into the food processor, along with some plain Greek yogurt…
and a touch of cream cheese…
and a little bit of honey for sweetness. The spread was still pretty tangy, which I liked, but Dave wished it had been a tad sweeter. So if you’re not a huge fan of the “bite” of plain Greek yogurt, consider upping the honey to taste.
Whirled it all up until it was spreadable but still chunky, then smothered it on some graham crackers. A lovely little snack!

I’m determined to make Cold Stone Creamery Key Lime Pie at home – it’s incredible! Raspberries, lime ice cream, graham crackers and whipped cream – yum!!
My favourite after-school snack was always crumpets. They just taste perfect with butter and Marmite
You have my mouth watering!
These sound awesome!! I’m a sucker for any kind of snack or dessert with cream cheese.
My mom eats graham crackers all the time. I like the cinnamon variety with a little bit of nutella. Then again, nutella on anything is good.
That looks absolutely delicious! And perfect for satisfying both the kid and the healthy eater(s) in me:-).
What a great idea! I often put cream cheese on graham crackers (and sometimes a little fruit preserves too) but never thought about making a spread with yogurt. Yum!
Sounds delicious
I absolutely love apricots and greek yogurt. I went to Zaytinya’s for my birthday and the restaurant serves greek yogurt with apricots and honey as the birthday freebie dessert. It was so yummy and creamy…
I like to spread coolwhip on graham crackers and freeze them for a fun little “ice cream” sandwhich.
Hmmmmm, yummy idea!
That looks delicious. It makes me want apricots. I’ve never really used graham crackers beyond s’mores, but this is inspiring.
Graham crackers were made for smores — or the jarred frosting from Pillsbury. Not the most healthy snack but it tastes so good.
Favorite after school snack? I loved gushers, pop tarts, fruit by the foot, you know, all the horrible processed goodies
We go through so many graham crackers at my boyfriend’s house. But it’s all because his sister eats at least 1 smore a day! (she makes them in the microwave)
wow, that looks so good! i’m glad you wrote this post because i just bought a box of graham crackers and made (disappointing) s’mores. i wish i had stuck to graham crackers with peanut butter, cream cheese, and marshmallow.
my favorite afterschool snack was cream of wheat or oatmeal with tons of milk and butter and sugar and cinnamon.
I love dried apricots, too! Could eat them all day long. Billy won’t touch them.
I remember eating strawberry Poptarts after school in 5th grade. And I’ve always been a bowl of cold cereal snacker. I love graham crackers in the form of PIE CRUST! Mmmm.
I like cinnamon graham crackers with applesauce– haven’t had those in probably years though! Is there a certain brand of graham crackers that are more nutritional than others?
Not that I know of. I just do a quick check of the ingredient list to make sure there’s nothing funny in there!
Awesome snack! I love graham crackers as I ate them a lot after the toddler was born. Brings back memories…
But your way of eating them is even better!
I like topping them with a smear of pumpkin, apple or almond butters or a dab of nutella. But my fav is to smash them up, throw them in skim milk and to eat them when they’re nice and soft.
That sounds absolutely amazing to me! I much prefer graham crackers soft, which the Hubs says is weird. I say he’s weird.
I have to say, graham crackers are one treat that once I start I just can’t stop munching on. They are addictive to me!
Omg, this looks awesome!! I love graham crackers and apricots, but never would have thought about putting them together!! Yummmmmmmmmm!!
I shouldn’t even mention this because they are so good but so bad, but spreadable cake frosting on a graham cracker is about the best thing ever.
