Nanaimo Bars

The Nanaimo bar is a traditional Canadian treat. The bar does not require baking and is named after the British Columbia city of Nanaimo. A coconutty crust, soft yellow custard filling in between, and chocolate ganache on top make up the entire recipe. There are numerous variations, including different types of crumb, different flavors of icing (such as peanut butter or coconut, mocha), and other types of chocolate.

They taste similar to fudge or an Almond Joy, but much better. It's something about the combination of chocolate, almonds, and coconut. This is a fantastic mix!

These delectable no-bake bars are perfect for anyone with a sweet taste and can be found in most cafés and bakeries across Canada. Hearthstone Artisan Bakery, highly regarded by locals, offers the tastiest classic form of Nanaimo bars as well as some innovative spin-offs for people with more adventurous taste buds.
