Instructions

Method for squares:

In a square pan of choice, add a piece of parchment paper to bottom to prepare pan, then line pan with your graham crackers, cut to fit if needed.

Then in a large saucepan over a low heat, add butter or margarine, sea salt, sugar and vanilla. Whisk together until all ingredients are melted and ready for next step.

Then in a small bowl add two eggs, whisk together, remove two tablespoons of the hot butter mixture and pour over eggs and whisk together quickly.

Then pour into butter mixture in saucepan and continue whisking to cook for 1 or 2 minutes, you don’t want scrubbed eggs so whisk it quickly.

Remove from heat and fold in your graham crumbs, coconut and mini marshmallows, continue mixing all ingredients together and then scoop over the graham crackers in pan. Make your icing, see recipe below!!

Method for white icing:

In a mixing bowl add butter, margarine or shortening, milk, cream cheese and vanilla, mix together and slowly add the confectionary sugar until a nice soft texture. Add more milk or cream if needed.

When finished spread over the top of the winter white squares and let set for a few hours or overnight.

Cut in squares or sizes you like.

Bonita’s Tips:

Use fine coconut or blend down a large grain of coconut if you don’t have it.

Use butter and cream cheese for the icing or butter, milk or cream. This will give the icing different textures and taste. All good!!!

Use shortening to have a whiter icing.

Let set in fridge to harden before cutting the squares.
