What is Almond Joy and what could we susbtitute it with since we dont have it in the UK?
We also dont have graham crackers here, but i suspect we could use crushed digestives or some other biscuit?

A almond joy is a chocolate bar with almonds and coconut..
maybe for the Gramcracker you could use I not sure what you could use instead but play around with the stuff you have on hand and it might work..I had no idea thet you won't have this items, sorry..

graham crackers are a biscuit type treat made with sweetened graham flour and if you uses a sugar cookie or sweet digestive biscuit, it would work. what about chocolate digestive biscuit? YUMM
