Fabulous ice box ease Fruit dried, sticky so sweet Folded into Graham's Famous brown cracker crumbs Finely chopped nuts~yum! yum! Famished come visit, stay Fainthearted go away Use sweetened condensed milk as a binder Place a sheet of waxed paper into the Graham Cracker box place the mixed ingredients into the box to form a rectangle cover tightly with some type of cling wrap and let set up in the refrigerator for at least overnight.. You can add~~ marshmallows(miniture ones), maraschino cherries with some of their liquid if a can of condensed milk isn't enough to moisten the crackers..You can use raisins, or other dried fruits if you like..I use those dried candied pineapple and cherries available at Christmas so it will be very colorful..Originally I used Brazil Nuts for the nuts and it does add a very nice flavor..It needs a cup of nuts, about two cups of the dried fruits..

VERY nicely done, Sara. BIG congrats to you in my contest. THIS picture looks like the fruitcake I am familiar with. Did you see Broken Wing's picture? I want to try THAT fruitcake.

Hey there, Georgia Girl. I will try this one this week. It sounds as good as Claxton Fruit Cakes. I'm only a few miles from that famous little town.

Much better than Claxton's Fruit Cakes..It has more moisture..Sara

Not even baked just so easy..The cracker box is a perfect fit for the cake but be sure to wrap it very well before refrigeration..It has to be kept in the refrigerator..Thanks for dropping by..Sara
