To use these crackers in baking, they are typically crushed into fine crumbs. This can be done by placing them in a resealable bag and crushing them with a rolling pin or by pulsing them in a food processor. The resulting crumbs are then mixed with melted butter and sometimes a bit of sugar to form a crust for pies and cheesecakes. They can also be broken into pieces and layered into desserts or simply eaten as a snack with a glass of milk.
