I could never figure out why my mother called these Canadian Brownies - until my daughter and family moved to Detroit. On a visit, we wondered into a chain called Hortons, and there in the bakery case was an "International Bar". Read more ..it looked strangely familiar. We purchased one, bit into the layers, and sure enough - it was "MY" Canadian Brownie. Since I learned this was a Canadian chain, I finally understood where the name came from for these bars!

Nanaimo Bars are wonderful. I messed up my first batch so badly, my Canadian friends had a good laugh at my expense. This looks like something the skating club would devour next event. Bookmarked and saved. Those kids can do some damage serious s...more
