My entire family loves cheesecake. Even the most finicky in our family will sneak down the stairs for a slice of cheesecake.

In these times of cutbacks, luxury items like cheesecake are definitely a sinful delight! But what can you do if you love the taste of cheesecake and can't afford it?

Or how would you like to set a table of snacks that even the Ladies Auxiliary would enjoy, sinful in calories that it is?

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Honey Maid Honey graham crackers
butter/ margarine/ I can't believe it's not butter!

Step 1

Honey Made Honey crackers

Start with the Honey Made Honey Grahams. There is just something in this crackers ingredients that will knock your socks off.
Step 2

Grab some butter or margarine. My mother was using "I can't believe it's not butter!". I'm not sure if using a different butter or margarine will do it or not.
Step 3

finished product--Poor Man's Cheesecake

Put the butter on the graham cracker and wella! you've got an impossible taste of cheesecake in your mouth!

I have no idea how it works like that. I swiped my mom's cracker, expecting to find greasy butter on a cracker, but boy was I surprised!
The rich, sinful flavor of the best cheesecake in the world exploded in my mouth!

I ran to my family members and asked them all to try it and they all agreed, it tasted exactly like cheesecake! (No body but my mom puts butter on everything)

You don't even need a lot of butter! Just look in the pictures to see that I sparingly applied the butter.

Go try this out and get back to me on whether I'm hallucinating or not!

on 12/30/2009 Wow- never would have thought of this! Have to try it sometime!

Wonder if I could add just a touch of chocolate syrup over it too? (Butter makes it better, but chocolate can be divine sometimes! LOL)

on 4/8/2009 O.k. unexpected to say the least...I thought you were going to make crust from crushed grahams and add the store bought filling...this is interesting...and I will most probably be adventurous and try it, at least once. Thanx for writing How to make a Poor Man's Cheesecake.
