Millionaire Squares

This recipe is from Company's Coming by Jean Pare

Bottom Layer

Butter or hard margarine                        1/2 cup

Finely crushed oatmeal cookies               2 cups

Filling

Semissweet chocolate baking squares,   3 X 1oz

      cut up (or 1/2 cup chips)

Butter or hard margarine                        1/2 cup

Large egg                                                1

Icing sugar (confectioner's)                     2 cups

chopped walnuts                                     1/2 cup  -- I don't use

Reserved crumbs for topping

Bottom Layer:   Melt butter in saucepan on med-low.  Stir in crushed cookies. Measure 1/4 cup crumbs and set aside for topping.  Press remaining crumbs in ungreased 8 X 8  pan.  Bake in 350 degree oven for 5 minutes.   This baking step can be omitted if you make crust ahead and allow it to stand a few hours to harden and dry.  When crust is baked fist the filling is much easier to spread without the crumbs lifting.

Dad's Oatmeal cookies make these squares taste the best

my cooling place...

Filling:  Melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring often, until smooth.  Remove from heat.  Add egg and beat.  Add icing sugar beating until smooth.  If too soft to hold shape add 1/4 cup more icing sugar ( usually the 2 cups is enough).  This will set up a bit when chilled but not much more than when you spread it in the pan  

stir chocolate mixture until smooth

Filling layer over bottom layer

Top Layer: 

sprinkle the reserve crumbs over the chocolate layer..

After filling is smoothed over crust, sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Refrigerate. Cut into 36 small squares or 25 large squares..... ( I cut mine bigger about 20 squares.)

         The final product    Rich... just like a millionaire
