Mom's Fudge Meltaways

It's been a few days, but I really wanted to post this recipe my mom has made for us since I was a kid.  It is so sweet and rich you only need a small square to satisfy a chocolate craving!

First Layer:

1/2 cup butter
1 square unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg, beaten
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup nuts (pecans)

Melt butter and chocolate in saucepan.  In bowl, blend 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, egg and graham crackers and nuts.  Add to butter and chocolate mix.  Press into 9 x 9" pan.  Chill.

Next layer:

1/4 cup butter
1 Tblsp whipping cream
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Mix 1/4 cup butter, 1 Tblsp cream, 2 cups powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla.  Spread over crumb mixture and chill. 

Top layer:

Melt 1 1/2 - 2 squares unsweetened chocolate and spread over chilled filling. Chill. Cut into 1" squares.
