I had never even heard of nanaimo bars until I get one at a coffee stand recently. These were WAY better! I made them for a large family get-together and everyone LOVED it and wanted the recipe. DELICIOUS!!!!

I had this recipe years ago and seem to have lost it, this is our favourite bar recipe after trying it in Canada a long time ago. We cant get Graham Crackers here so I used 1 packet of digestive biscuits (minus 3 biscuits) and for the chocolate layer I used a medium size block of Energy chocolate. (a dark Cadbury brand chocolate) Love them!!
