Notes: *After you've gathered all of your supplies, START with Step #6. It will allow your Jello lots of time to cool.
*I ALWAYS double the crust (of course)
*Feel free to substitute ingredients with "Fat Free," "Non-Fat," etc. where you see fit (but why would you?!)
*Spray your 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray. Getting the crust up and out can be really difficult as the butter and sugar really harden.
*DON'T over bake your crust!!!! Instead of 10 minutes I'd recommend 7 minutes. If you double the crust, about 15 minutes.
