This is a recipe that one of my friend gave me. And I was lucky enough to have 2 squares. It's sweet enough and delicious. Ingredients:

2 eggs, beaten |

1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs |
1 cup coconut |
1/2 cup grilled almonds, chopped |
2 cups sifted powdered sugar |
1/4 cup butter, soften |
2 tablespoons cherry juice |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
1/3 cup maraschino cherry, chopped in small pieces |
4 ounces semisweet chocolate (4 squares of 125 g) |
2 tablespoons butter |
