1 box graham crackers
FILLING
3/4 c butter (1 1/2 sticks) softened to room temp
1 c sugar
1 egg
1/2 c milk
1 c pecan bits
1 c shredded coconut
1 c graham cracker crumbs
TOPPING
3 c powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 + 1/8 c butter, room temp
2 Tbsp milk

Steps:

1. Line a 9 x 13 pan with whole graham crackers.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan and add sugar. Beat the egg and milk together; add to butter mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add the nuts, coconut, and graham cracker crumbs. Pour over the crackers in the pan. Cover with another layer of whole graham crackers.
