NANAIMO BARS, NO BAKE LAYERED DESSERT BARS



Nanaimo Bars, No Bake Layered Dessert Bars image

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 III



Nanaimo Bars III image

Because it's three layers, this sounds hard but it's worth it. My son is famous for making and taking these in to work. I've heard other names but here in the Northwest everyone knows them as Nanaimo bars. They are sold on British Columbia Ferries and at coffee stands. If you can't find custard powder, I've used instant pudding mix with good results.

  • Middle Layer: Using room temperature butter, mix the butter until it's smooth. Then add powdered sugar, vanilla pudding, vanilla extract, and milk (or heavy cream or water) until combined.
