A no-bake square, that freezes well. I make these during the year, but they are a must on my Christmas baking list as family and friends look for them. My parents live just outside of Nanaimo, B.C. Canada. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
2 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate |
1/3 cup white sugar |
1 1/2 tablespoons pasteurized egg |
1 cup rolled oats |
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 1/2 tablespoons milk |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter or margarine with 2 squares chocolate. Remove from the heat, and stir in white sugar, egg, rolled oats, coconut, chopped nuts, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Press mixture into a greased 9 inch square pan, and chill for 1 hour.
2. Combine confectioners' sugar with 3 tablespoons softened butter, 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla, and milk. Mix until it has an icing-like consistency, and spread it over the oat mixture in the pan. Chill for 1/2 hour.
3. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter or margarine with remaining 2 squares chocolate. Spread over the top of the bars. Chill for 4 to 5 hours.
4. Cut into squares using a hot knife; dip knife in hot water, and let it melt through the chocolate.
