wondering if you have ever tried the orginal recipe? This looks so interesting and I must try it. Some nanimo bars are made with birds custard powder( creme anglaise). When I made my trip back to Canada last week I had to buy another container. Thanks for posting a classic.

if you are coming for the olympics these are a must try. oddly enough the best ones i have ever tasted were found aboard the BC ferries. i live on the mainland and my family lives on the island so it is always a treat. just try not to fall in love with this desert. I have made them many times before and this is certainly not the conventional recipe. I can’t wait to try it.

I’m sure we’ll hear about these gems during the Olympics…………….I have had the the original way and love them.

A friend of mine in BC once went to Nanaimo and at her hotel there was a sign for a meeting of the “Nanaimo Bar Association” I wonder what those lawyers have for dessert?

This is our claim to fame in the dessert line here on Vancouver Island, an absolute ‘must try’ if you visit here. The original recipe is made with butter and the pudding powder is ‘Bird’s Eye Custard’ that gives the middle layer it’s distinctive flavour, it is so good and habit forming from the first bite!
