KITTENCAL'S BEST NANAIMO BARS (NO BAKE)
These are better than any store-bought, all amounts may be doubled for a 13x9-inch pan --- if you don't have custard powder on hand then use instant vanilla pudding powder instead, you may have to adjust the amount according to the texture desired, start out with 2 tablespoons adding more to achieve desired texture, I have to say that these bars are better both in taste and appearence if made with the custard powder and you will easily find it in the baking section near the pudding mixes of any grocery store, what you do not use will keep well covered tightly in the fridge so I advise to purchase the custard powder! --- and for easier slicing chill the bars just slightly then remove from fridge when just partially hard then run a sharp knife through the bars to slice into desired sizes then return to fridge to finish chilling, this will make slicing the bars easier when they harden --- different flavored extracts and food colouring may be used to create different flavors, such as mint extract and a drop of green food colouring, also these freeze very well! :)

Steps:
- For bottom layer: In a double boiler, or on the stove element (on low heat) melt the first 3 ingredients, remove from heat; add in the egg, stir to combine and thicken. Stir in cracker crumbs, coconut and chopped nuts.
- For microwave method; melt the butter with sugar in microwave until the butter is completely melted, removing one time to stir (you do not have to cook until very hot) mix in cocoa powder until well combined, then vigorously whisk in eggs until combined, then stir in remaining ingredients (the mixture will be thick so I always mix with my hands).
- Press firmly into prepared ungreased 8 x 8-inch square pan.
- For the middle layer: cream butter, half and half, custard powder and icing sugar; beat until light and creamy.
- Spread over the bottom layer; refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
- For the topping: In the microwave, or on top of the stove, on low heat, melt the chocolate squares with the 4 Tbsp butter; stirring to combine adding in the whipping cream for a more creamier texture if desired.
- Pour evenly over the middle creamy layer (smooth out with a spoon to even out if necessary).
- Refrigerate for 1 hour before cutting.

NANAIMO BARS, NO BAKE LAYERED DESSERT BARS
These are very rich and yummy. A small portion goes a long way. I made this treat for my daughter's 4th grade project. She chose Canada as her research project and then needed to bring a "native" food to share with the class. In order to make the recipe "kid texture friendly", I pulsed almonds and coconut to a finer texture This step is optional. Bird's Custard powder is available in the UP and Canada. I have read that vanilla pudding powder can be substituted but I have never tried it. Measure & divide your ingredients according to the steps noted, it will make it easier when assembling this delightful treat! Inspired by: Joyce Hardcastle.

NANAIMO BARS (WITH 6 VARIATIONS)
These no-bake, three layered snack bars start with a crumb base, followed by a layer of light custard buttercream, then topped with a shimmering layer of chocolate. Nanaimo Bars are one of Canada's favorite confections, named after the beautiful city of Nanaimo, B.C. It all began when Mabel Jenkins, a Nanaimo housewife entered the recipe in a magazine contest back in the 1950's. She won the contest with these tasty treats even made the town famous for them. There are six variations of filling here at the bottom of this recipe. Buddha got this recipe from a co-worker named Kindalee.
