Preparation
Step 1
Mix sugar, butter, egg, cocoa & place over boiling water until mixture looks like custard. Remove from heat & add crumbs, coconut & walnuts. Spread in buttered 9 inch square pan & press down.
Cream ¼ cup butter, 3T. milk, 2T. vanilla custard powder & 2 cups icing sugar. Mix well & spread over base. Melt 4 squares semi-sweet chocolate & 2 T. butter in double boiler. Pour over squares. Refrigerate. After chocolate has set, cut through the chocolate only. This prevents the chocolate from breaking up when you slice completely through.
