    1/2 c  Butter

      1    Egg
      1 ts Vanilla
  1 2/3 c  Graham wafer crumbs, fine

  stirring constantly, until smooth and slightly thickened. Stir in the

  Make the creamy center:  cream the butter and gradually beat in icing
  sugar and egg.  Spread over crumb mixture and chill for about 15
  minutes.
  
  Make the chocolate topping:  melt the chocolate and butter together
  over hot water or in a microwave, being careful not to burn. Spread
  on top of the previous parts. Chill until set. Cut into squares with
  a sharp knife.
  
  NOTES:
  
  *  No-bake, 3-layer (chocolate covered) bars -- Nanaimo bars are a
  traditional Canadian dessert, though nobody is certain where the
  tradition came from. Laura Secord is a Canadian candy company; their
  cook book says this about the origin of these fattening delicacies:
  
  "A version of these no-bake bars developed in the Canadian kitchens
  of a well-known food company, was christened by them Nanaimo bars
  after the city of that name on Vancouver Island. Nanaimo (from
  sne-ny-mo, a local Indian term for a loose confederation of five
  bands) started as a Hudson Bay Trading Post in 1849."
  
  : Difficulty:  Easy.
  : Time:  1 hour preparation, several hours chilling.
  : Precision:  Approximate measurement OK.
