nikki, in your graham cracker crust, is salt an ingredient? a little salt makes a huge difference--sets off the sweetness, enhances it somehow. i recently bought a chocolate cream pie. it was ok, but i was absolutely wowed by the gc crust!! i went back for seconds of that pie mainly to taste more of that sweet/salty buttery gc crust. afterwards, i looked up cgraham cracker crust recipes on the internet. only some of them include salt. one recipe for a 9" pie used 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. sorry to go on and on like this nikki, but it was a real eye opener for me--i hadn't even much cared for gc crust before this. now i'm totally on it!
good luck with your butter/crumb ratio....
