around sides but milk is not a rolling boil). Add mixture from bowl and
heat 7 minutes over medium heat , stirring frequently at first, constantly
after the mixture bubbles. (If mixture starts to stick on bottom, lower
heat slightly). Let cool slightly, then pour over first layer. Tilt pan to
cover base layer evenly. Chill in refrigerator half an hour or more till
set.
THIRD LAYER: Combine 4 oz white chocolate with 1 Tbsp butter in double
boiler and melt (or melt 1 -1 1/2 minutes in microwave on High and stir ).

VARIATION: Mocha Squares: substitute semisweet chocolate for white
chocolate (this variation is easier as the middle layer and semisweet
chocolate are similar in colour.)
MAKES: approx 32 bars (they are very sweet, therefore the bars should be
small)
