Nanaimo Bars (9x13 pan)

1st Layer:

1/2 cup margarine
1/4 cup white sugar
5 Tbsp. cocoa (sift)
1 egg, beaten
1 3/4 cups graham wafer cracker crumbs
3/4 cup fine coconut
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

In a pot melt the margarine with the sugar, cocoa, and the egg. Stir constantly. Once melted and mixed remove from heat and add the crumbs, coconut, and walnuts. Stir well. Press firmly into a well greased 9x13 pan. Chill

2nd Layer:

1/2 cup margarine, softened
2 Tbsp. custard powder
2 cups icing sugar powder
3 Tbsp. milk

Stir well together till smooth. Spread evenly over the first layer. Chill till firm.

3rd Layer:

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2-3 Tbsp. margarine

OR

4 squares dark baking chocolate
2-3 Tbsp. margarine

Melt the chocolate and the margarine together stirring constantly and spread over the second layer quickly. Chill.

Helps to heat the sharp knife in hot water to cut these. (Dry it off before you cut.)
