Nanaimo Bars

Nainamo Bars

A Nanaimo bar is a three layer chocolate and custard dessert originating in the Canadian British Columbian city of Nanaimo, although the dessert is popular throughout most of Canada and the Northwest United States. It is served at almost every coffee cart and in almost every restaurant in Vancouver.   Despite the three layers, the dessert is fairly easy to prepare and requires no baking.
