Indeed they do! Check out your supermarket’s cookie aisle for Teddy Grahams (Nabisco, I think); they have an added advantage of coming in honey graham, cinnamon graham or chocolate graham flavor. You can also look for Keebler Bug Bites: little graham crackers/cookies shaped like dragonflies, butterflies and such.

A couple bags of Teddy Grahams, some canned frosting for slathering on with dull knives, you’ll be the hit of the party!

Source? 😛 I’m begging here. Why couldn’t I have any nephews?

I hope I can find the Bug Bites! I have about an hour to buy this stuff, arrange it attractively on a platter, wrap gifts, take a shower, get dressed and be out the door!

Here’s a clue: while you may be looking for _boxes_, as that’s what graham crackers usually come in, these shaped ones are in shiny foil-type bags. They should be with the Keebler cookie section.
