DAINTIES

This recipe comes from my mother-in-law, Pat, who shares my love of all things sweet and delicious!

Crust

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups graham wafer crumbs
1/2 cup walnuts or coconut

Icing

2/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp milk
1/2 cup icing sugar

In a small saucepan, bring butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla to a boil.  Boil for one minute.  Remove from heat and add wafer crumbs and walnuts/coconut.  Pat firmly into pan.

For the icing, combine brown sugar, butter and milk in a small saucepan.  Bring to a boil.  Remove from heat and add icing sugar.  Whip until smooth (quickly as icing starts to set when it cools) and spread on cooled crust.
