These are delicious but always seem to be crumblier than I want.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter plus one tablespoon per recipes
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup cocoa
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
green food coloring
peppermint extract
4 squares semisweet chocolate
1 tablespoon butter
Directions:
For bottom layer, place 1/2 cup butter, sugar and egg in a saucepan. Sift cocoa over mixture. Stir over
medium heat until mixture thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and stir in graham crumbs, coconut and walnuts. Pat firmly into the pan. Refrigerate for
at least 1 hour.
For the filling, cream 1/4 cup butter in a medium bowl, then add the powdered sugar, milk, 4 drops food
coloring and 8 drops peppermint. Mix well.
Spread filling over bottom layer and refrigerate about 30 minutes, until firm.
Melt chocolate and butter and mix together in a small bowl. Carefully spread the melted mixture over the
filling. Refrigerate for about 5 minutes, then cut into squares.
