How to Make Light And Dreamy Orange Bars

Chill a small mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
In the top section of a double boiler, soften 1 envelope (1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup of melted concentrated orange juice.
Place the double boiler over simmering water, and stir constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved (about 2-3 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Using the chilled beaters, beat 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder with 1/2 cup cold water in the chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and beat until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in the orange juice mixture until just combined.
Spread the mixture evenly onto 12 graham crackers (arranged in a single layer).
Top with the remaining 12 graham crackers.
Wrap each bar individually in plastic wrap or foil.
Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
