FOR THE BASE:
1/2 cups Butter
1/4 cups Granulated Sugar
5 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
1 whole Egg, Beaten
1-1/2 cup Chocolate Cookie Crumbs (like Oreo)
1 cup Unsweetened Coconut
FOR THE ORANGE FROSTING FILLING:
1/2 cups Butter
2-1/2 Tablespoons Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate
2 cups Icing Sugar
FOR THE CHOCOLATE TOPPING:
1 cup Chocolate Chips, Semisweet Or Dark
2 Tablespoons Butter

1
BASE: Melt butter, sugar and cocoa together, over low heat in a saucepan or in the microwave. Remove from heat. Add beaten egg, then add Oreo crumbs and coconut and mix until well combined. Press into the bottom of a parchment paper lined, or greased, 9x9 inch baking pan. Refrigerate while you prepare the frosting layer.
2
ORANGE FROSTING: Using an electric mixer, beat together the frosting ingredients until smooth. Spread evenly over bottom layer, and refrigerate to set for about an hour before adding the chocolate topping.
3
TOPPING: Melt chocolate and butter together over low heat, or in the microwave (microwave the mixture for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between each heat burst), just until the chocolate is melted. Spread quickly and gently over chilled frosting layer. Return to fridge until the chocolate sets. I usually set my timer for about 30 minutes so I remember to score the chocolate before it is completely set. This will help to avoid cracked tops...not that they won't taste just as delicious with a couple pieces of cracked chocolate!
