Subject: NANAIMO BARS

BOTTOM LAYER:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg, beaten
1-3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup almonds, finely chopped

MIDDLE LAYER:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3 tablespoons whipping cream (unwhipped)
2 tablespoons vanilla-custard powder
2 cups powdered sugar

TOP LAYER:
4 ounces semisweet chocolate (1-oz. squares)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

For bottom layer: Melt butter, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder together in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Add the egg and stir constantly until thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in graham-cracker crumbs, coconut and almonds. Press firmly into an ungreased 8 x 8 pan.

For middler layer: Cream butter, whipping cream, vanilla-custard powder and powdered sugar together. Beat until light. Spread over bottom layer.

For top layer: Melt chocolate and butter over low heat. Cool. When cool, but still liquid, pour over second layer and chill in refrigerator about 15 minutes, then cut into 1" bars.

Bars can be made 3 to 4 days ahead and kept covered and refrigerated. Best tasting when brought to room temperature.
