If you ask our Test Kitchen which brand is best for snacking (also s’mores, desserts and more), it would have to be Nabisco Grahams.
“This one is very tasty on its own,” says Sarah Tramonte in the Test Kitchen. “It has good sweetness and that classic flavor.” That flavor, of course, is honey and a touch of brown sugar.
This cracker is a touch darker than the rest, but that deep gold is what makes this cracker so visually appealing.
While you can use these in any recipe that calls for graham crackers, our team thinks they’d be the ideal accompaniment flavor- and appearance-wise for dessert dips like Chocolate Chip Dip and Strawberry Cream Cheese Dip.
This didn’t surprise our testing team:Â Honey Maid Graham Crackers are one of the best on the supermarket shelves.
These crackers are ideal for making classic campfire s’mores. “These make a clean break when snapped apart—no crumbles!” says Deputy Editor Rachel Seis. This quality is a must when portioning out crackers to make these marshmallow sammies.
Beyond that, these grahams have a slight vanilla flavor which sets them apart from others in this test.
For an extra crispy graham cracker, try Target’s Market Pantry Honey Graham Crackers.
These crackers are thin and wonderfully crispy. They’re exactly the type you want when crushing crackers down to create a crumb crust for desserts.
Once pressed into a crust, these graham crackers will give a mellow flavor with just a hint of vanilla. Try them with this Fluffy Key Lime Pie or Red, White & Blue Cheesecake Bars.
If you’re looking to save a few pennies while shopping, you can get Walmart’s Great Value Honey Graham Crackers for less than half of the cost of a big-name box.
Despite being a less expensive option, these crackers get big points for appearance. According to Rachel, “These are super visually appealing with a nice, uniform, golden color with deep perforations.”
As for the flavor, these crackers tasted as they should with whispers of honey and cinnamon—all with a pleasantly crunchy texture.
As always, our Test Kitchen team takes sampling very seriously. For this taste test, our team tried eight brands of crackers. The brands were kept secret until after testing was complete to avoid any biases.
Each cracker was sampled and judged in these categories:
Our Test Kitchen is constantly testing food, kitchen gadgets and cleaning gear looking for brands that deserve the right to be called Test Kitchen-Preferred.
