Servings: 36

 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup finely chopped almonds (optional)

1/2 cup candy corn

5 tablespoons cocoa

1 cup coconut (sorry, coconut haters: this is not optional)

1 cup confectioners' sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs

2 tablespoons cream or half and half

2 tablespoons vanilla custard powder or instant vanilla pudding powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter

Equipment:

double boiler

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Prepare bottom layer. Melt the butter, sugar, and cocoa in a double boiler until fully incorporated, but do not let the mixture come to a boil. Add the beaten egg and stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in the graham cracker crumbs, coconut, and nuts. Press down firmly into an ungreased 8 x 8-inch pan; try to make the mixture as flat as possible in the pan. Let this cool for about an hour. 2 Prepare the middle layer. Cream the butter, cream, instant pudding powder, and confectioners' sugar together, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy. Spread over bottom layer, once again trying to make the surface as flat as possible. At this point, I like to put the pan in the refrigerator, as it is easier to spread the top layer on when the buttery middle layer is a bit more solid. 3 Prepare the top layer. Melt the butter, salt, and candy corn in a double boiler over medium heat. Do not let the mixture boil. Add the confectioners' sugar bit by bit until the mixture reaches a thick, but still pourable, consistency. When the candy corn has mostly melted (the mixture has turned light orange, but there are still a few ghostly candy corn shards visible), it's ready to be spread on top of your other layers. Try to spread this layer on as quickly as you can so that the middle layer doesn't begin to melt. 4 Let the bars cool for at least one hour in the refrigerator before serving.

Food Joke

The dinner party Freda and Moshe Levy won 8 million pounds in the National Lottery. They immediately went out to begin a life of living in luxury. They bought a luxurious mansion in Northwood, surrounded themselves with all the material wealth imaginable and decided to hire a butler. After much searching, they found the perfect one. One day, they instructed the butler to set up a dinner for four because they were inviting their friends, the Cohens, over for dinner and they will be going out for the day. When they returned that evening, they found the table set for six. When they asked the butler why six places were set when they specifically instructed him to set the table for four, the butler replied: "The Cohens called and said that they were bringing the Bagels."
