Ingredients
Bottom Layer
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1/3 cup sifted cocoa
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut sweetened or unsweetened
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
Middle Layer
- 2 cups icing sugar
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 3 tablespoons Bailey's
- 3 tablespoons custard powder
Top Layer
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
Instructions
- Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper, leaving some parchment paper hanging over the edge for handles.
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter, sugar, and cocoa together until it's smooth.
- Quickly beat in the egg, making sure there are no lumps.
- Mix in the graham crumbs, coconut, and walnuts. Firmly press into the bottom of the prepared 9x9 pan. Chill in the refrigerator while you get the middle layer ready.
- Get your middle ingredients together.
- Cream the icing, butter, Bailey's, and custard powder together with a hand mixer, then spread onto the bottom layer.
- Melt the cup of chocolate chips and 2 tbsp of butter together in a microwave-safe glass measuring cup, heating on high power in 20-second increments, making sure to stir after heating each time.
- Once the chocolate is smooth, spread the chocolate on top of the middle layer evenly, then cool in the fridge for a few hours. The middle layer will set and the top layer will harden.
- Remove the slab of bars from the pan once chilled by lifting the parchment paper. Slice the bars on the paper and serve.
- Keep the bars refrigerated in a closed container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.
