Nanaimo Bars (1/7)

List item

This rich, no-bake dessert is named for a city in British Columbia. The bottom layer is a crumb crust with cocoa, coconuts, and chopped nuts. The filling is a kind of custard. The whole is topped off with melted chocolate.

Nanaimo bars made their first recorded appearance in Canadian cookbooks and newspapers in the early 1950s. Today, they are a classic with numerous variations. We had cappuccino Nanaimo bars at a gathering recently. Delicious!
