What is a sleeve of crackers, we live in Europe. Also, what are 1.6 tubes of M and M’s/ It would be great to have a more universally known measure as well as names of products known only in the US. Can’t wait for a reply, so the kids can try this recipe. William
William I apologize but over 90% of my audience in American and wouldn’t understand metric measurements . I am not sure what a European equivalate to a saltine cracker would be but in the photo I used 35 crackers . The M&M’a are minis found in the baking section in the states. I am sorry this isn’t too helpful.
