Chocolate Orange Nanaimo Bars

• FOR THE BASE:
• 1/2 cups Butter
• 1/4 cups Granulated Sugar
• 5 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
• 1 whole Egg, Beaten
• 1-1/2 cup Chocolate Cookie Crumbs (like Oreo)
• 1 cup Unsweetened Coconut
• FOR THE ORANGE FROSTING FILLING:
• 1/2 cups Butter
• 2-1/2 Tablespoons Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate
• 2 cups Icing Sugar
• FOR THE CHOCOLATE TOPPING:
• 1 cup Chocolate Chips, Semisweet Or Dark
• 2 Tablespoons Butter

1. BASE: Melt butter, sugar and cocoa together, over low heat in a saucepan or in the microwave. Remove from heat. Add beaten egg, then add Oreo crumbs and coconut and mix until well combined. Press into the bottom of a parchment paper lined, or greased, 9x9 inch baking pan. Refrigerate while you prepare the frosting layer.
2. ORANGE FROSTING: Using an electric mixer, beat together the frosting ingredients until smooth. Spread evenly over bottom layer, and refrigerate to set for about an hour before adding the chocolate topping.
3. TOPPING: Melt chocolate and butter together over low heat, or in the microwave (microwave the mixture for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between each heat burst), just until the chocolate is melted. Spread quickly and gently over chilled frosting layer. Return to fridge until the chocolate sets. I usually set my timer for about 30 minutes so I remember to score the chocolate before it is completely set. This will help to avoid cracked tops...not that they won't taste just as delicious with a couple pieces of cracked chocolate!
