Preheat the oven to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C). In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until they form fine, even crumbs ā or seal them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin. Transfer to a bowl, add the sugar and melted butter, and stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened and hold together when pressed.
