I got Easy No-bake Nanaimo bars for you 🍫 Nana-what-imo? Read ON.

Since we’re all missing traveling, I brought you something kinda exotic! Nanaimo bars are a British Columbia TREAT 😱 A place I’ve never been to but now that I’m hashtag blessed to have friends from all over the dang world (thank u IG) I get a ton of desserts-piration.

I made these, never having tasted the original, adapted to my usual ingredients, cut sugar down a bit, got rid of the baking component, you know the drill. THEY WERE SO GOOD. I just hope they come somewhat close to original 😅
