My mother taught me to make these rich, delicious bar cookies when I was young. Though I've tried many variations, I always come back to this old favorite. Ingredients:
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter, divided |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/3 cup baking cocoa |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 egg |
2 cups graham cracker crumbs |
1 cup shredded coconut |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional |
2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix |
3 tablespoons milk |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
3 ounces semisweet chocolate |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter. Remove from the heat; blend in sugar, cocoa, vanilla, egg, crumbs and coconut. Also add nuts if desired. Press into a 9-in. square pan. In a small bowl, cream 1/4 cup butter, pudding mix, milk and sugar. Spread over crumb layer; chill. Melt chocolate and 1 tablespoon butter; spread over pudding layer. Chill before cutting into bars. Yield: 3 dozen.
