A CANADIAN CLASSIC , Nanaimo bars layer a rich chocolate-coconut base with a creamy custard filling and a smooth chocolate topping. This is a very rich square, and the 1-inch portions are intended as bite-sized treats rather than dessert-sized servings — perfect for holiday cookie trays and sharing with friends and family.
