P.S. I have made something similar but you just place the whole vanilla wafer in the bottom as the crust.

these look so good! the only thing I don't like in the ingredients are the butterfinger bars. I'm trying to lose weight, tho, I think I'll carry a 10 ft pole when I come near them. Again, they look delicious!
