How to Make Pink Party Squares
- **Layer 1: Graham Cracker Crust**
- In a double boiler, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 large egg.
- Stir constantly over simmering water until the mixture is smooth and shiny (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups graham cracker crumbs.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x9 inch baking pan.
- **Layer 2: Coconut Filling**
- In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 of a (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk and 8 ounces (1 cup) shredded coconut.
- Spread evenly over the graham cracker crust.
- **Icing: Pink Perfection**
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and 2 cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 tablespoon milk and a few drops of red food coloring, stirring until you reach your desired pink shade.
- Spread the icing evenly over the coconut layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the squares to set completely.
