• Mix the ingredients for the second layer together and spread it carefully over the unbaked brownie layer.
• Bake at 350 degrees (175 C.) for 30 minutes.
• Let cool completely before doing layers 3 and 4.

• Spread layer three over the cooled brownies.
• Melt the butter and bakers chocolate together in your microwave or over a hot water bath.
• Using a tsp, swirl the melted chocolate over the surface of the third layer.
• Place it in the refrigerator for several hours (it just tastes better when it has had some time to rest).

Comments

My mother made these all the time in the 60's. It is very sweet and you will want to cut the bars into very small pieces. Mom rediscovered the recipe recently (it had gone missing for almost 30 years) and all my siblings hurried to make the squares. A real family favorite.
