Ingredients

6: squares low-fat honey graham crackers, finely crushed (1/2 cup)

2: tablespoons butter, melted

1 In a small bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, butter, and sugar. Press crumb mixture in the bottom of a 2-quart square baking dish. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
2 In a large bowl, combine gelatin and the boiling water. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. Set aside.

I would really like to know the carb count on these recipes. Any ideas of what it is?

Thanks

Made this over the weekend, and was very disappointed. Thought it had too much cottage cheese in it, did not even come close to tasting like key lime. Threw it out, what a waste of money on this dessert.
