These rich little bars can be made ahead of time, freeze well, and are totally irresistible.

What is a Nanaimo Bar?

Named after the city of Nanaimo in B.C., Canada, Nanaimo bars have 3 layers of deliciousness. These bars are something that my Mom always had on every cookie tray along with Thumbprint Cookies and Sugar Cookies!  They’re easy to make and even easier to eat, you won’t be able to stop at one (sorry, not sorry)!

To Make Nanaimo Bars

Once you have spread on the top layer of chocolate, let it sit in the fridge for about 5 minutes.  Remove from the fridge and score lines through the chocolate (I use the sharp end of a wooden skewer), this will make the squares easy to cut without breaking the top layer.
