Instructions
  1. To make walls, set crackers vertically, gluing them to each other with peanut butter. (If you have trouble erecting the walls, you can also start by spreading a foundation layer of peanut butter and setting the crackers into it.)

  2. Glue smaller crackers onto larger ones to make doors or window shutters, and cement graham crackers in place as a sloped roof.

  3. Decorate with raisins, cereal, or anything else that can be attached with peanut butter.

Tips:
For neatness' sake, erect the castle on a cookie sheet or tray.
