I made these yesterday for the first time ever, and they are PERFECT! They taste exactly like what I grew up on. Nanaimo bars are my mothers favourite dessert, so she was very excited to have these! Beautiful recipe! I will be making them again to put out for our Canada Day celebration! Thank you for sharing!

In reply to AG.

Hi AG! Yes except you shouldnt have to hold it. Just have it sitting over the pot (but make sure the water doesnt touch the bottom of the bowl. Like this: https://www.rachaelraymag.com/real-life/technique-how-to-diy-double-boiler

I am confused about directions # 2 and 3 in your recipe:

“Place 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and 3 Tbsp cocoa powder into a large, heatproof bowl over a pot with simmering water. Whisk until combined.
Slowly pour in egg while whisking vigorously. Add vanilla. Continue whisking over simmering water until mixture has thickened and resembles a pudding.”

What do you mean by “over a pot with simmering water”? Am I holding a bowl over a pot that has simmering water in it?

In reply to DJ. Hi DJ! It's supposed to be sweet. If that's not your preference you can reduce the sugar.

At custard, 240g of sugar is way too much!! It is extremely sweet!

In reply to Melissa Leblanc. Hi Melissa! Sorry to hear you didn't love these. I am also from Canada (Vancouver) so have had these all my life as well. My version tastes just like the ones I grew up with but perhaps there are slight differences depending on where you've gotten them before.

I’m from Canada and I’ve ate these bars my entire life. these did not taste like they normally do. It seemed to be a lot of coconut which I have not seen like this before and the custard was chalky.

In reply to Sharma. Hi Sharma! Do you have digestive cookies you can grind up? It won't be exactly the same but similar :)

Can you suggest a substitute for the graham crackers, looked all over in Mexico and just can’t find them!!
