A Brief History of the Graham Cracker

The story of the graham cracker goes back nearly two centuries, to the work of Sylvester Graham, an American clergyman and health reformer in the 1800s. Graham was part of the early vegetarian movement in the United States and promoted a diet that emphasized whole grains, fresh produce, and simple living.

In 1829, Graham developed what became known as the graham cracker to complement his “Graham Diet, which attempted to produce a lifestyle of moderation to combat the negative effects of overindulgence.¹ His version was made from coarsely ground, unrefined whole wheat flour, baked without added fats or refined sugar, and had a texture more like a bran cracker.

Over time, bakers and manufacturers adapted the recipe. By the late 19th century, cookbooks were suggesting sweeter versions of graham crackers, sometimes incorporating lard or molasses for added flavor.¹ The cracker soon became more of a treat than a health food, a shift that continued with the rise of commercial production.

Today’s graham crackers are typically flavored with honey or cinnamon and produced in many variations, including the chocolate covered graham crackers, mini grahams, and s’mores that Asher’s has transformed into a specialty indulgence. While they may look quite different from Graham’s original creation, the enduring appeal of the graham cracker speaks to its versatility and charm.

Why Graham Crackers & Chocolate Are a Perfect Pair

The appeal of graham crackers lies in their golden crunch and subtle sweetness. Add smooth, creamy chocolate to the mix, and suddenly the humble cracker transforms into a decadent experience. It’s the perfect balance of texture and flavor: the snap of the cracker with the melt-in-your-mouth indulgence of chocolate.

This pairing has long been beloved in the form of s’mores, but there’s no need to wait for a campfire to enjoy it. Asher’s chocolate covered graham crackers capture all the nostalgia with none of the fuss, making them an anytime treat for kids and adults alike.
