Tips & Variations

• For a nuttier flavor, add ¼ cup finely chopped nuts like pecans or almonds to the crumbs before mixing with butter.
• Try using a sugar-free cinnamon sprinkle to add warmth and depth to the crust.
• If you don’t have Catalina Crunch cereal, a similar sugar-free graham-style cereal can be substituted.
• Press the crumbs firmly into the pan to ensure the crust holds together well after baking.

Storage

Store any leftover crust in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If already baked and cooled, it can also be refrigerated for up to 5 days. To maintain crispness, avoid covering with plastic wrap directly—use parchment or a loose cover. Reheat briefly in a low oven if it softens before serving.
