  7. Once the butter is melted, add the sugar and cocoa, and stir to combine.
  8. Add the egg and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, until warm to the touch and slightly thickened (it should be about the consistency of hot fudge), about 6 minutes.
  9. Remove from the heat and stir in graham crumbs, coconut and nuts. Press the dough firmly into the prepared pan.

  23. (Alternatively, put the chocolate and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
  24. Melt at 50 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 1 minute. Stir, and continue to heat until completely melted, about 1 minute more.).
