Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper that overhangs on the sides to pull the cold bars out. Set aside.

Crumble Graham crackers. Roller pin and arm muscle can crush them into crumbs in a zip-top bag. In a medium bowl, combine sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter.
