Thanks Grandma Chase this is a great recipe! My family LOVED them. I added red food colouring to the middle layer in celebration of Canada Day! I also replaced the walnuts with coconut (Sorry but it just isn't that classic Canadian dessert without it). I will definitely make these again!
I've eaten a lot of nanaimo bars in my life and most are far too sweet for my liking this one is definitely tastes much lighter with the sugar which i appreciated. I did miss the coconut but the walnuts were a nice substitute. Although i like the taste of dark and rich chocolate i found the top layer too cocoa-y tasting. Overall i enjoyed the bar but longed for a bit more sweetness but possibly just because im used to them being overpoweringly sweet. On the other hand my bars looked AMAZING i made sure to let the top layer get extra cool before spreading and they were absolutely flawless in every layer very tidy and professional looking!
I used coconut instead of nuts because my husband cannot eat nuts. I thought these bars were just okay. There wasnt anything wrong with the recipe it turned out just like the picture. The flavor of the bars were not to my liking. I doubt that I would ever make these again. Its still sitting in my frig and no one is eating it.
Wow!! These are fantastic!! I thought my husband was going to melt into a puddle. Easy to make but you need to watch it when heating stuff make sure you don't scorch anything.
yummy..easy to make and the kids love it!!!
This is wonderful but our family calls it an eclair cake.
This is a great recipe; easy to follow and easily enjoyed by many! I would say that this recipe is not made to fill the 9X13 pan it fit better in a 9x9.
My family and I are Canadian but live in California. My father requested Nanaimo Bars for Father's Day since it had been many years since he last had one. Made this recipe for him and he LOVED them (the rest of us too)!
Fabulous recipe Grandma Chase! I like this recipe much better without the coconut. They however are very rich and need to be cut into small pieces. Thanks for posting a new summer go to recipe.
