Nanaimo Bars

The first time I made Nanaimo bars all on my own was to take to my then boyfriends family bbq and they all seemed to love them. I remember the BBQ well! My now father in law made a smoky boneless pork rib that I still make today that was at that same BBQ. The get together was epic! Unfortunately, the recipe I used was in my Moms "Mailbox News" magazine and was eventually lost and gone forever. Fortunately, my daughter went to Canada on her mission and we found the recipe that is the official Nanaimo BC recipe where it originated. I was so excited to try it again and it did not dissapoint!

These classic Nanaimo bars are a no-bake, three-layer Canadian treat with a buttery chocolate-coconut base, a rich vanilla custard filling, and a smooth chocolate topping. They’re decadent, easy to make, and guaranteed to disappear fast—perfect for holidays, potlucks, or anytime you’re craving a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing dessert. Here you go! We love this bar!
