How much does a 2 1/2 square of graham crackers weigh
I have a recipe that calls for 8 dozen 2 1/2 inch squares of graham crackers, since they no longer are 2 1/2 inches I would like to know how much this would weigh.
Oh, BTW they now measure 2 1/4 in squares.

It would help if you provide the recipe. Generally, there are two treatments for graham cracker in baking/cooking: layering or crushing.
If this is a recipe where the crackers are layered, it certainly won't matter, as you can estimate.
If you need to crush them, you might need to be more precise. I can't provide the weight, but I think I can offer another way to consider the problem.
I am assuming (perhaps erroneously, but it probably wouldn't matter all that much) that the thickness has not changed.
Thanks to @Chris H for correcting my first attempt (is there a way to change this answer to his? I'm happy to hand it off...)
8 dozen 2.5 inch cookies = 600 square inches
8 dozen 2.25 inch cookies = 486 square inches
You will need about 25% more, or another 22 of the smaller cookie.
I think that should get you in the ballpark.
