Best Nanaimo Bars Ww Points 3 No Bake Recipes
NO BAKE NANAIMO BARS
By many accounts, Nanaimo bars came into existence when a Nanaimo housewife entered her no-bake squares into a magazine contest. Though we see several sources citing that it was "about 35 years ago", though we were not able to locate the name of the entrant or the magazine in which it was published. However, the legend goes on to say that when the recipe was published, it put both the bar and the town on the map

Steps:
- Crust Directions: Melt first 3 ingredients in top of double boiler. Add egg and stir to cook and thicken. Remove from heat. Stir in crumbs, coconut, and nuts. Press firmly into an ungreased 8" x 12" pan or glass baking dish. Use a rolling pin to make sure it is even all around.
- Filling Directions: Cream butter, cream, custard powder, and sugar together well. Beat until light and fluffy. Spread over bottom layer an even thickness all over.
- Topping Directions: Melt chocolate and butter over low, low heat. Cool a bit . Once cool, but still liquid, pour over second layer and chill in refrigerator. This makes about 10 big squares or 20 bar shaped pieces.
NANAIMO BARS III
Because it's three layers, this sounds hard but it's worth it. My son is famous for making and taking these in to work. I've heard other names but here in the Northwest everyone knows them as Nanaimo bars. They are sold on British Columbia Ferries and at coffee stands. If you can't find custard powder, I've used instant pudding mix with good results.

Remove from heat and mix in the graham cracker crumbs, coconut and almonds (if you like). Press into the bottom of an ungreased 8x8 inch pan.
- For the middle layer, cream together 1/2 cup butter, heavy cream and custard powder until light and fluffy. Mix in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spread over the bottom layer in the pan. Chill to set.
- While the second layer is chilling, melt the semisweet chocolate and 2 teaspoons butter together in the microwave or over low heat. Spread over the chilled bars. Let the chocolate set before cutting into squares.
