"Found this on the internet. I like to use pecan cookies and 1/4 cup butter and 1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar, in place of graham cracker crust; cream filling as is and 1 1/2 times lemon filling, but I love lemon. If you put the crust in a square or rectangle pan you can cut in bars the size you like. I make it with gluten free cookie crumbs."
