Nanaimo bars #1
16 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ½ | cup | Softened butter |
| 2 | tablespoons | Vanilla custart powder |
| 4 | ounces | Semi-sweet chocolate |
| ¼ | cup | White sugar |
| 3 | tablespoons | Half-n-half |
| 1 | tablespoon | Butter |
| 5 | tablespoons | Cocoa |
| ¼ | cup | Creamed butter |
| 1 | teaspoon | Vanilla |
| 2 | cups | Sifted flour |
| 1 | Egg | |
Directions
1ST LAYER: Place softened butter, white sugar, cocoa, vanilla and 1 egg in a bowl. Set bowl in a dish of boiling water. Stir until butter has melted and mixture resembles custard. Combine graham cracker crumbs, coconut and chopped walnuts. Blend well. Add to custard mixture. Pack evenly into a 9x9 pan.
2ND LAYER: Combine vanilla custard powder with half-n-half. Add creamed butter. Blend sifted powdered sugar. Spread over first layer. Let stand in freezer until hardened.
3RD LAYER: Melt chocolate with butter and spread over second layer. When set, cut into bars.
Restaurants in the NW usually served this with a thicker second layer, so I usually double the second layer. Looks really great when made in a pan with removeable sides and topped with white chocolate roses or shavings.
