Can you use Digestive biscuits or Malt biscuits for the base instead of Graham crackers? (They are not easy to find). Apparently Woolies do have them sometimes but they are out of stock at the moment.

Made this today for lunch with some friends and we all absolutely loved it! Not tricky to make and looked really pretty in some mason jars! Thank Nagi!
