How to Make Chocolate Graham Pecan Squares

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished squares out easily.
Arrange a single layer of graham crackers in the prepared pan.
In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine over medium heat.
Add 1/2 cup milk and 1 cup packed brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
Gently fold in 1 cup graham cracker crumbs and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Spread evenly over the graham cracker layer in the pan.
Top with another layer of graham crackers.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
**Prepare the frosting:** In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine over medium heat.
Add 1/4 cup milk and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar. Bring to a low boil for 1 minute, then simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
Once cooled, beat in 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add more powdered sugar or milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency. The icing should be spreadable but not too runny.
Frost the chilled graham cracker bars evenly.
Use a fork to create a decorative lined pattern on top of the frosting.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
