- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
- 3/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted and chopped
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut

- Combine first 5 ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, 12 to 15 minutes or until mixture reaches 160u0b0 and is slightly thickened. Remove from heat; divide mixture in half. Let cool 15 minutes.
- Add chocolate wafer crumbs, almonds, and coconut to half of butter mixture, stirring well. Press chocolate mixture firmly into an ungreased 9" square pan.
- Add graham cracker crumbs, crushed amaretti cookies, and chocolate mini-morsels to remaining mixture, stirring well. Press graham cracker mixture firmly over chocolate mixture in pan.
- Beat 1/4 cup butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar, beating until blended. Add milk and almond extract; beat until mixture is spreading consistency. Spread frosting over graham cracker layer. Cover and chill. Cut into 20 bars.
- Spoon melted chocolate into a zip-top plastic bag. Snip a tiny hole in one corner of bag, using scissors. Drizzle chocolate over frosted bars. Top each bar with an amarettini cookie.
