Time 1h15m

Yield 1 8x8 pan, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup cocoa
1 1/2 cups graham wafer crumbs
1/4 cup coconut
1/2 cup unsalted peanuts, finely chopped
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter or 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons butter
4 ounces semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • In a saucepan mix together butter, sugar and the beaten egg. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth and slightly thickened.
  • In a large bowl mix together the graham wafer crumbs, coconut and finely chopped peanuts. Add the butter egg mixture and mix well. Press evenly into an foil or parchment lined 8-inch square pan and chill for 15 minutes.
  • Beat together peanut butter, butter, icing sugar, and milk until smooth. (I like to do a taste test and sometimes add a bit more peanut butter). Spread over the base. Chill for 30 minutes or until firm.
  • Melt chocolate and butter together in a double-boiler over hot water or in the microwave. Spread over middle layer. Chill until firm and then cut into squares.
