Graham Wafer Squares

Another fun treat my Mom used to make fairly often when I was growing up.

Graham Wafer Squares
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
26 whole graham crackers, broken into medium pieces
2 TBSP. baking cocoa
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 TBSP. vanilla extract

3/4 - 1 cup chocolate frosting

Mix together the walnuts and broken graham cracker pieces in a large bowl and set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine the coca, butter, sugar, egg and vanilla. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil and cook until thickened. Pour the hot mixture over top of the graham nut mixture. Stir to coat all pieces evenly. Pat covered graham mixture into a lightly greased 9-inch square pan. Cool. Frost with chocolate frosting. Chill until ready to serve.
