Nanaimo Bar Recipe | Canadiana
First created in the 1950s in Nanaimo, B.C. (and called the London Smog bar in an early iteration!), the Nanaimo bar is an absolutely delicious Canadian classic. Imagine my shock and horror on arriving in the US to find that this most excellent of tea time snacks has rarely transcended the Canadian border! And to make matters worse, it was recently famously bungled (bungled!) by the New York Times (if in image more than recipe):
But don't worry, I'm here (cough) to correct this grave error.
I can't recommend enough giving this sweet, salty, chocolatey, well-rounded dessert treat a try.

Nanaimo Bars Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com
Recipe here: Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Nanaimo Bars. Nanaimo Bars are one of Canada's favorite confections. The beautiful City of Nanaimo, British Columbia has claimed them as their own. The story goes that a Nanaimo housewife entered a recipe for a chocolate square in a magazine contest. She called her recipe 'Nanaimo Bars'. She won the contest, and her Nanaimo Bars eventually became popular throughout Canada, as did the town they were named after. These no-bake, three layered bars are famous for a reason, they are delicious. They start with a Graham Cracker Crumb base, followed by a layer of custard buttercream, and the crowning glory is a smooth and glossy layer of dark chocolate.

COOKING CANADA: Nanaimo Bars ????????
Nanaimo Bars have become part of Canadian heritage. There is a right way and a wrong way to make them. The 3 layer ratio needs to be proportionately correct or it will be frowned upon.. (I'm looking at you NYT). For those in Canada, this treat needs no introduction, but for everyone else, it is my privileged to introduce you to Canada's Nanaimo bar....from Nanaimo.
