Nanaimo Bars II image

A no-bake square, that freezes well. I make these during the year, but they are a must on my Christmas baking list as family and friends look for them. My parents live just outside of Nanaimo, B.C. Canada.

I substituted almond flour for the graham cracker crumbs and they were still delicious.

Followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great. I used a 9x13 pan and they were the perfect thickness.

Fantastic recipe. One of the best Nanaimo bars I've ever tasted. The combination of chocolate, coconut and custard was perfect.
