I just received my January/February 2009 Weight Watchers Magazine. Every magazine has a recipe makeover and this is the one featured this time. The cooking time listed is for the refrigeration time.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup light butter, the stick kind
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 egg
1 cup low fat graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 teaspoons light butter, the stick kind
1 tablespoon nonfat milk
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 teaspoons light butter, the stick kind
Directions:
1. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with plastic wrap.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar, cocoa and egg. Cook 1 minute. Stir in graham cracker crumbs, rolled oats, coconut, walnuts and vanilla.
3. Pat the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Freeze until firm, 30 minutes.
4. With an electric mixer, beat butter and milk. Beat in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Spread over the crust and chill 15 minutes.
5. Microwave chocolate and remaining butter 10 seconds; stir. Spread over the filling; chill 2 hours.
6. Cut into bars.
