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.
Ahh, the memories! Watching you kids dig in to these sweet beauties was such a joy. Loved making treats for you!
