Nanaimo Bars

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
4 Tbsp cocoa
2 cups graham wafer crumbs
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup butter
3 Tbsp milk
2 Tbsp vanilla custard powder
2 cups icing sugar
4 squares semi-sweet chocolate
1 Tbsp butter

Instructions

Mix together butter, sugar, egg and cocoa. Set over boiling water and stir until mixture resembles custard. Add graham cracker crumbs, coconut and nuts to the custard mixture. Blend well and spread and press tightly into a 9x9 pan. Refrigerate during the next step. Cream together the butter, milk, custard powder and icing sugar. Spread evenly over the mixture in the pan. Refrigerate while doing the next step, to make sure the cream filling sets. Melt chocolate over hot water. Add butter. Blend well. Spread over the creamy layer. Refrigerate until set. Cut into squares (size depending on just how many calories you want to consume at once!).
