Bottom layer:
½ cup butter
1 (1-ounce) square unsweetened chocolate
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg, beaten
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup flaked coconut
½ cup chopped walnuts
Frosting:
¼ cup butter
1 tablespoon milk or cream
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Topping:
2 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate (the recipe actually calls for 1½ squares, but Tiff uses 2 to make sure she has enough to spread over the frosting)
1. For the bottom layer, melt ½ cup butter and 1 square of chocolate in a saucepan. Blend sugar, vanilla, egg, graham cracker crumbs, coconut, and walnuts into the butter mixture.
2. Mix well and press into an ungreased baking dish, 9 × 9 × 1¾ inches. Refrigerate.
3. For the frosting, mix together the butter, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Spread over the crumb mixture and return to the fridge to chill.
4. After it’s set, spread with the melted chocolate. Lightly score the top for easier cutting. Chill again. Makes 1 dozen squares.
