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!!
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.
