Queen Anne Squares
Directions
- 1Combine 2/3 cup of melted and cooled butter, 2/3 cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1 egg together.
- 2Whisk 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder into 1 cup of flour.
- 3Add the flour mixture to your wet ingredients and combine.
- 4Transfer the mixture to the bottom of an 8x8 prepared pan.
- 5Press the crust firmly into the bottom, making sure it extends to reach all the corners.
- 6Combine 2 cups of shredded coconut, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- 7Once combined, get that second layer on top of the crust.
- 8Spread this around and make sure all of the crust is covered.
- 9Bake in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.
- 10Let them fully cool in their pan on a wire cooling rack.
- 11For the frosting, combine 1/4 cup of softened butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of milk, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and a healthy splash of vanilla extract.
- 12Mix well, keeping milk nearby in case you need to add an extra teaspoon or two.
- 13Scrape the bowl down well, as this is meant to be a very thick, stiff frosting.

- 15Chill in the fridge for at least an hour before cutting.

Tips
- Make sure the base is entirely cool before adding the frosting.
- These squares will need to chill in the fridge for at least an hour, if not a couple of hours, before cutting.
- Store them in an airtight container or a ziploc bag in the refrigerator; they also freeze really well.
