Nanaimo Bars - A Rasmussen Tradition

In a microwavable bowl:
1 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup sugar
10 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs

Warm this in the microwave and stir frequently. Warm it until it is blended and custard-like and everything is well blended.

Combine:
4 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups sweetened coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts

Add the crumb mixture to the chocolate mixture and mix well. Pack into a 9x13 pan.

Frost with:
1/2 cup butter
4 tbsp custard powder (imported from Canada by Mom!)
6 tbsp milk
4 cups powdered sugar (or enough to make the right consistency)

Chill for awhile (you can too!). Melt 8 squares of semisweet chocolate. Add a 1 tbsp butter and a little sugar. This keeps the chocolate from setting too hard. Quickly spread over the frosting.

Enjoy!
