Recipe by: St. Louis Post-Dispatch 12/2/96 Line the bottom of a
9-by-13-inch pan with graham crackers. If necessary, break crackers to fit.
Crush enough crackers (about 7) to equal 1 cup of crumbs.
In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, milk
and egg. Boil for about 2 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly.
Remove from heat; add nuts, graham cracker crumbs and coconut. Spread over
graham crackers in pan. Top with another layer of graham crackers; press
gently.
To make frosting, mix together remaining 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine,
powdered sugar and enough lemon juice to make mixture spread easily. Spread
over graham crackers in pan. Refrigerate until cool, then cut into bars.
