Ingredients
Base
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tbsp white sugar
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Recipe Method
1- Lightly grease a 9” pan and line with plastic wrap. Mix together the butter, sugar, cocoa, egg, graham cracker crumbs, coconut and walnuts until combined thoroughly. Press into prepared pan firmly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
2- For the filling, cream together the butter, custard powder, and vanilla extract. Add the milk and icing sugar alternately, about one third at a time, until smooth. Spread the mixture over the chilled base. Return to the refrigerator and chill again one hour.
3- For the topping, melt the semisweet chocolate together with the butter. Stir together until well combined. Pour over the filling and spread to cover the filling thinly.
4- Leave for 5-10 minutes until starting to set, then mark the chocolate with a sharp knife into 18 squares. Refrigerate until set. Once set, devide the cake into 18 squares. Serve bars chilled.
