    Recipe Introduction


    Recipe courtesy Paula Deen
    I made them this afternoon and they are delicious. They are a bar cookie and are very rich so a little piece goes a long way. I think they are best if left to sit in the refrigerator for about 8 hrs. to get good and firm.



    List of Ingredients




    Filling:
    1 (16-ounce) box graham crackers
    12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter
    1 cup sugar
    1 egg
    1/2 cup milk
    1 cup chopped pecans
    1 cup or 3 (1/2-ounce) cans shredded coconut

    Topping:
    2 cups powdered sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
    3 tablespoons milk

    Recipe



    For the filling: Line a 13 by 9-inch pan with whole graham crackers. Melt the butter in saucepan and add sugar. Beat the egg and milk together; add to butter mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add the nuts, coconut, and 1 cup graham cracker crumbs. Pour over the crackers in the pan. Cover with another layer of whole graham crackers.

    For the topping: Beat all the ingredients together and spread over top layer of crackers.
    Chill. Cut into squares
