Nanaimo Bars

• FOR THE BASE:
• 1/2 cups Butter
• 1/4 cups Sugar
• 5 Tablespoons Cocoa
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1 whole Egg
• 2 cups Crushed Graham Crackers
• 1 cup Coconut
• 1/2 cups Chopped Walnuts
• FOR THE ICING:
• 1/4 cups Butter
• 3 Tablespoons Milk
• 2 Tablespoons Vanilla Custard Powder
• 2 cups Icing Sugar
• FOR THE CHOCOLATE TOP:
• 4 whole Semi-sweet Chocolate Squares
• 1 Tablespoon Butter

1. For the base:
2. Place 1/2 cup butter, sugar, cocoa, vanilla and egg in a bowl. Set bowl in a dish of boiling water. Stir well until mixture resembles a thin custard. Add graham crackers, coconut and walnuts; mix well. Press mixture into an 8" square baking pan and spread with icing.
3. For the icing:
4. Cream 1/4 cup of butter. Mix milk and vanilla custard powder together, then add to butter. Blend in 2 cups of icing sugar. Spread over the base and put in refrigerator to harden.
5. For the chocolate top:
6. Melt 4 semi-sweet chocolate squares with 1 tablespoon butter and spread over icing. When set, cut into bars. I like to score the chocolate before it is completely set so that the chocolate doesn't crack when cutting up the bars.
7. Keep refrigerated.
