Grease a 9-inch square cake pan. These squares have three layers, each completed in a separate step.
1. In a saucepan combine:
- ½ cup butter
- ¼ cup granulated white sugar
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and slightly thickened.
Stir in:
- 1 + 2/3 cups (finely crushed) graham wafer crumbs
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Press into prepared pan.
2. Cream:
- ¼ cup butter
Beat in gradually:
- 2 cups sifted icing (confectioners/powdered) sugar
- 1 egg
Spread over crumb mixture and chill for about ½ hour.
3. Over hot water, melt together in a bowl (make sure no water gets into bowl!):
- 4 squares semi-sweet chocolate (one square = one ounce or 28grams)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Spread on top and chill. When set, cut into squares.
