It starts with a thin layer of crushed graham cracker, then a thick layer of fudge brownie. On top was a good assortment of butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and vanilla chips (not melted). It also has some coconut sprinkled in. You can lose that if you dont like it.
On the very top was a sugar glaze coating that held it all together. I dont know how they did it. The bottom layer did not crumble or break apart. I assume they used butter or lard in the crushed graham cracker part.
It was good all over but I never got their recipe. It wasn't mass produced & sold by the case. A lady made them at her house and sold the things to the coffee shop a dozen at a time.
But if you figure out how to make them you will be a great chef.

This is a very crummy pic I sent my mom when I wanted her to make some for me. She never got it right. The graham cracker part was just as sweet & chewy as the brownie part.
Come to think of it, it may not have been graham at all but regular old cookie mix.
