Recipe Introduction


NANAIMO-BARS-2 - No-bake 3-layer (chocolate covered) bars
Nanaimo bars are a traditional Canadian dessert, though
nobody is certain where the tradition came from. Laura
Secord is a Canadian candy company; their cook book says
this about the origin of these fattening delicacies:
``A version of these no-bake bars developed in the Canadian
kitchens of a well-known food company, was christened by
them "Nanaimo bars" after the city of that name on Vancouver
Island. Nanaimo (from sne-ny-mo, a local Indian term for a
loose confederation of five bands) started as a Hudson Bay
Trading Post in 1849.''
