Nanaimo Bar Canada Recipe
Whom doesn’t love Nanaimo bars? These little bars are so buttery and sweet! I know they are huge here in Northern Alberta. This is my husband’s favourite bar. I usually own build these close to Christmas – as they are not good for anyone’s waistline at my house.
I find them a little sweet – and 1 pc will hold me over for a while.
I’m not even sure why they are called Nanaimo bars… Perhaps they originated from Nanaimo British Columbia – I am uncertain.
This Bar has 3 individual layers to be built.
