      Yield: 24 Servings
 
    1/2 c  Unsalted butter
    1/4 c  Sugar
      5 tb Cocoa
      1 lg Egg; beaten
  1 1/4 c  Graham cracker crumbs
    1/2 c  Fine chopped pecans
    1/4 c  Fine chopped hazelnuts
    1/2 c  Unsalted butter; melted,
           - cooled slightly
    2/3 c  Powdered sugar
      1 c  Smooth, natural peanut
           - butter; no salt added
    1/2 ts Salt
      1 ts Vanilla
      5 oz Semi sweet chocolate chips
      1 tb Unsalted butter
           Pink himalayan salt; or
           - other fine sea salt
 
  BASE LAYER: In double boiler (or a bowl resting over a
  pot of lightly simmering water), melt the first three
  ingredients.
  
  While still over water, add egg and beat to combine
  (will thicken quite a bit here). Remove from heat and
  add crumbs and nuts.
  
  Press into an 8" x 8" cake pan. Set aside.
  
  MIDDLE LAYER: Add peanut butter and butter together in
  small bowl.
  
  Mix in sugar, salt and vanilla to form a thick paste.
  
  Dump onto base layer and smooth over, patting down to
  make a flat, even layer.
  
  TOP (final) LAYER: In double boiler (or microwave), melt
  butter and chocolate chips together. Stir until complete
  dissolved and smooth.
  
  Pour over peanut butter layer and spread out evenly.
  
  Cool in fridge for about 5 minutes (should still be
  slightly soft on top but not warm).
  
  Sprinkle, lightly, with Himalayan salt. Return to fridge
  (or freezer, if you're in a hurry), and let cool
  completely to become hard.
  
  Cut into small squares and don't say I didn't warn
  you ... these things are addictive.
