Nobody knows for sure who invented Nanaimo bars, but nearly everyone who makes these creamy, chocolaty Canadian goodies knows how quickly they disappear. âAlice Maysick, Berrien Center, Michigan Ingredients:
1 cup butter, cubed |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped |
2 eggs, beaten |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
4 cups graham cracker crumbs |
2 cups flaked coconut |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
filling: |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
3 tablespoons 2% milk |
2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
glaze: |
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped |
1 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. In large heavy saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and chocolate. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until melted. Whisk a small amount of hot mixture into eggs. Return all to the pan, whisking constantly. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until mixture reaches 160°. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, coconut and walnuts. Stir in chocolate mixture until blended. Press into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set.
3. For filling, in a large bowl, beat the butter, milk and pudding mix until blended. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth; spread over crust.
4. For glaze, in a microwave, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Drizzle over filling. Refrigerate until set. Cut into bars. Yield: 4 dozen.
