Steps:
- First, make base.
- Put butter or margarine, cocoa and sugar into a saucepan and cook, over medium heat, until butter melts and sugar dissolves; stir occasionally.
- Whisk egg and then SLOWLY whisk butter mixture into beaten egg; then put mixture back into same saucepan.
- Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes or until smooth; remove from heat.
- Stir in crumbs, nuts, coconut and orange rind; combine well then scrape into a 9-inch cake pan (8-inch works as well); spread evenly and even use your fingers to press down; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Now make the middle.
- With an electric mixer, beat custard powder into butter, then beat in orange juice concentrate and rind.
- With your mixer on low, beat in icing sugar, a bit at a time, and the food colouring if you're using it.
- Spread over the chilled base and refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
- Now make the top.
- Chop chocolate coarsely and heat in a small pan, along with the butter, until melted and smooth; stir often.
- Pour over the middle layer, spreading evenly; return to refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
- Once firm, cover with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated until serving.
- With a sharp knife, cut into bars to serve.
