Notes
Use graham crackers or golden Oreos for the crust depending on your flavor preference.
Chill the bites thoroughly before adding the topping to ensure the crunch stays crisp.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
You can use strawberry jam if you don’t have fresh puree.
Customize with different fruit flavors or toppings like chocolate drizzle or whipped cream.
