Nanaimo bars, enough said!
The last time I had a Nanaimo bar was in Nanaimo, British Columbia. I thought it was so cool to have one where the recipe supposedly originated. Anyhow, that was the last time, and it wasn’t vegan.
So when I made this vegan version, I was over the moon! They’re just as good as I remember them to be.
This recipe is very rich and the portion sizes should be small. It’s hard to eat a big peace, I have tried many times!
I hope you enjoy it!
