Overall, these bars were a good try. I think with a few adjustments, they could be really great.

These bars were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I might have used too much graham cracker crumbs.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set properly. I think I might have overcooked the custard layer.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of Nanaimo bars, but these were really good. The custard layer was especially creamy and delicious.

These Nanaimo bars were a hit! The combination of chocolate, coconut, and custard was perfect, and the drizzle on top added a nice touch of sweetness. I will definitely be making these again.
