Chocolate Mint Nanaimo Bars (No Bake)

These Nanaimo bars have a great twist combining chocolate and mint!  My new favorite way to enjoy them!  Nanaimo bars are one Christmas treat that I always looked forward to when I was younger!  My mom made them every single year!  While we always have these around the holidays, they’re actually great any time of year and totally perfect served with coffee!!

REPIN CHOCOLATE MINT NANAIMO BARS

I thought they’d be pretty challenging to make but they are actually simple!  Just layer up the ingredients, refrigerate and cut into squares, easy right?

Note:  Custard Powder can be found in the baking aisle of your grocery store.  This is the brand I use.
