Millionaire Squares

Millionaire Squares Crust 1/2 cup butter 2 cups crisp oatmeal cookies Filling 1/2 cup chocolate chips 1/2 cup butter 1 large egg 2 cups confectioner's sugar 1/2 cup chopped pecans Melt 1/2 cup butter in medium saucepan over low heat or in glass bowl in microwave. Crush cookies, like you would for making a pie crust. I used 2/3 of my package. We won't talk about what happened to the rest. These cookies are hard, using a food processor or mini chopper like I have is easiest. Combine butter and crumbs till all crumbs are moist and buttery. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping. Press remaining crumbs into the bottom of a greased 8 x 8 pan. I placed a square of parchment paper on the bottom of my pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Heat chocolate and 1/2 cup butter in medium saucepan on lowest heat, stirring often until chocolate is almost melted. Remove from heat and stir until smooth. Add egg, beat well to combine, stir in sugar, just a spoonful at a time. Once all sugar is added and you have a smooth consistency, stir in nuts. Spread evenly over crust, using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle reserved crumbs over top. Chill until firm. Using the parchment paper on the bottom of the pan makes it easy to remove to a cutting board and cut evenly into squares. I cut into 16 squares.
