Canadian NANAIMO BARS

These were ONE of my favorite bars growing up in Canada.

We would often have food at church and these were one of those items someone always would bring, and they were very popular. 

You will see why!

1st layer

1/2 c butter                                                            2 c graham cracker crumbs

1/4 c brown sugar                                                  1 c coconut

3 T cocoa                                                               (1/2 c chopped nuts - optional)

1 beaten egg

combine, put into lined 9" pan & chill 1/2 hr.   *I line the pan so once firm I can lift out and cut it neatly.

2nd layer

2 c icing sugar                                                         1/4 c cream or milk

1/4 c butter                                                              2 T custard powder

combine, beating til smooth & fluffy. Spread over 1st layer & chill

3rd layer

3 semi sweet chocolate squares                                1/4 c butter, melted

spread over top & chill.

Once chilled firm, remove from pan and cut into squares. Store in airtight container in fridge.

 ENJOY! and don't forget to share ♥
