Notes

NOTE: If you double the recipe, put it in a 10x15" baking dish. Serves about 16.
 
NOTE: I followed the directions on the Keebler graham cracker box and their ingredient list for my graham cracker crust. Instead of baking the crust, I froze it for one hour.
 
NOTE: This pie can also be kept in the freezer until about 30 minutes before serving.
