Graham crackers, chocolate wafers, and white frosting provide three layers of color and flavor. Ingredients:
1 cup butter or margarine, melted |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 large eggs, lightly beaten |
2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs |
3/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted and chopped |
1/2 cup flaked coconut |
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs |
1/2 cup finely crushed amaretti cookies |
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate mini-morsels |
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened |
2 3/4 cups sifted powdered sugar |
2 tablespoons milk |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
1 (1-ounce) square semisweet chocolate, melted |
20 amarettini cookies (miniature amaretti cookies) |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, 12 to 15 minutes or until mixture reaches 160° and is slightly thickened. Remove from heat; divide mixture in half. Let cool 15 minutes.
2. Add chocolate wafer crumbs, almonds, and coconut to half of butter mixture, stirring well. Press chocolate mixture firmly into an ungreased 9 square pan.
3. Add graham cracker crumbs, crushed amaretti cookies, and chocolate mini-morsels to remaining mixture, stirring well. Press graham cracker mixture firmly over chocolate mixture in pan.
4. Beat 1/4 cup butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar, beating until blended. Add milk and almond extract; beat until mixture is spreading consistency. Spread frosting over graham cracker layer. Cover and chill. Cut into 20 bars.
5. Spoon melted chocolate into a zip-top plastic bag. Snip a tiny hole in one corner of bag, using scissors. Drizzle chocolate over frosted bars. Top each bar with an amarettini cookie.
