Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Friday, 8th July 2011 When I finally decided on Lemon Meringue Tarts for the holiday weekend I knew I would have to offer another choice because not everyone in my family is a fan of citrus desserts.

And by soon, I mean it’s starting this week. I am excited and nervous. Nervous because my husband is doing all the work. He is a DIY guy…hence his carpenter jeans. Not nervous about his ability. Nervous about the last 1/4 of the job. He pulls out of the gate like gang-busters. That electrical-situation that needs to be moved? Need some plumbing done? Because I Like Chocolate: Nanaimo Bars. Until a couple of days ago, I could not tell you when the last time I had a Nanaimo bar was. In all honesty, it was probably a store-bought one at a piano recital at least 7 years ago. It was the one thing I looked forward to after listening to kids hack away at the ivories for a solid 2 hours, the snacks! Nanaimo Bars. Still enjoying The Boy Who Bakes, and loving that the recipes are easy to make.

Nanaimo Bars

I've often thought about making Nanaimo bars, but never really got around to it. The recipe originally came from a Canadian housewife who submitted it to an annual Women's Institute fundraising cookbook back in the early 1950's, and recently, Nanaimo bars were voted 'Canada's Favourite Confection'. There are a few different recipes out there, but this one has no baking involved, and the recipe makes a large amount if you cut the bars into small squares - they are very rich and rather sickly sweet, so smaller is better here (you can always have another one!) Nanaimo BarsAdapted from the Boy who Bakes. Notes: I left out the desiccated coconut because we don't really like it, and I substituted pecan nuts for the walnuts, and roasted them for more flavour. Bottom layer 300g digestive biscuits 170g melted butter 75g caster sugar 45g cocoa powder 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
