  2. Place graham crackers and sugar in food processor and blend until crumbled. Drizzle in melted butter and continue to blend until butter has been evenly distributed throughout mixture.
  3. Press graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 cake pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely.
  4. Spread pan with 1/2-inch layer of whipped topping until crust is completely covered. Cool in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
