INSTRUCTIONS
FILLING
TOPPING
In heavy saucepan, combine butter, cocoa, sugar and egg; cook over low
heat, stirring, until butter has melted. Remove from heat; stir in graham
cracker crumbs, coconut and walnuts. Pat evenly into greased 9-inch square
cake pan. Bake in 350F 180C oven for 10-12 minutes or until just firm. Let
cool completely on rack.
Filling: In small saucepan, heat milk, butter, espresso powder and vanilla
over low heat until butter has melted and espresso powder has dissolved.
Transfer to mixing bowl; let cool. Beat in sugar until thickened and
smooth; spread evenly over cooled base. Refrigerate for about 45 minutes or
until firm.
Topping: Meanwhile, in top of double boiler over hot (not boiling) water,
melt together chocolate, butter and espresso powder; spread over filling.
With sharp knife, score topping only into bars. Refrigerate until topping
is set. Cut into bars.
[Bars can be covered and refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen in
airtight container for up to 1 month.]
