Best Ever, No Bake Nanaimo Bars
I believe all home bakers should have a good ‘no bake’ recipe up their sleeve. They are quick, easy and for the most part are huge crowd pleasers. They serve up and adapt to all functions from tea parties to bake sales and are just down right, no fuss, tasty.
These traditional and well loved bars from Canada completely tick that box. Nanaimo bars are a layered dessert with a chocolate, coconut and biscuit crumb base, sandwiched with a creamy custard filling and topped with a layer of chocolate ganache.
This is how I make mine - they were a huge hit at home!
