How to Make Chocolate Walnut Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. **Base Layer:**
  3. In a large bowl, combine all base layer ingredients (see below). Crumble together with your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into an ungreased 9x9 inch baking pan.
  5. Set aside.
  6. **Middle Layer:**
  7. In a separate bowl, beat eggs until light and foamy.
  8. Gradually add the remaining middle layer ingredients (see below), mixing well after each addition. The batter should be smooth.
  9. Pour the batter evenly over the base layer in the prepared pan.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let the squares cool completely in the pan before proceeding.
  12. **Top Layer (Icing):**
  13. In a small bowl, whisk together all icing ingredients (see below) until smooth. Add a teaspoon of milk or water at a time if needed to reach desired consistency for spreading.
  14. Once the squares are completely cool, spread the icing evenly over the top.
  15. Arrange whole and half walnuts on top of the icing to mark the squares for cutting, placing the half walnut in the center of each square.
  16. Once the icing has set slightly, cut into squares and serve.
