POPPY SEED SQUARES



Poppy Seed Squares image

This is a poppy seed square with a twist. A cake like base with the topping of a nanaimo bar. This square is totally addictive,but not as sweet as a nanaimo bar. It will become a regular on your dainty tray. I have been making this for years and it is our favorite. Get it into the freezer quick or you will pick at it until it all gone.
