Nanaimo Bars – A Canadian Dessert

Naniamo Bars

I first found this recipe during the 2010 Winter Olympics in British Columbia.  Oddly enough, I had a recent request to make the bars again. They are a great textual blend of sweets.  The base is a mix of graham, chocolate, coconut, pecans and sugar.  It is dense and a bit nutty.  The middle layer offers a smooth creamy vanilla compliment.  It is then topped off with a thin layer of chocolate.  If cut into bite size portions, one can enjoy all the flavors at once.
