Totally off topic, but an enterprising CH could change that! But too
much sugar for this kid!
Step 1

1/2	cup butter
1/4	cup white sugar
3	tbls cocoa
1	egg
1	tsp vanilla
2	cups of graham cracker crumbs
1	cup dessicated coconut
Cook butter, sugar & cocoa over hot water until sugar disolves....add
beaten egg and vanilla. Remove from heat and mix in cracker crumbs, the
coconut, and when well combined, spread this in an 8"X 8" well greased
pan, and place this in the fridge to set. Go to STEP 2:
1/4	cup butter
2	cups sifted icing sugar
2	tbls custard powder
2	tbls hot water
Combine the above, and mix well, then spread on top of the mixture in
pan in fridge. Return pan to fridge, while preparing STEP 3:
2	squares of semi sweet chocolate
1	tsp butter
1/2	cup of finely chopped nuts(pecan or walnut)optional
Melt the chocolate and the butter together, add nuts if using, and
spread over the custard mixture, and return pan to fridge to continue setting.
When totally set, cut into rectangles, and serve....some use a little
food coloring in the custard to make it more yellow. Have fun, and now
you see why I dont do this one! Cheers, Doug in BC
