Nanaimo Bars are a popular no-bake dessert originating from Nanaimo, a city on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. They consist of three distinct layers: a crumbly base made from crushed cookies, cocoa powder, and nuts; a creamy custard-flavored middle layer; and a rich chocolate topping. These bars are often enjoyed as a sweet treat at gatherings and are known for their delicious combination of textures and flavors. Named after the city, Nanaimo Bars have become a beloved dessert across Canada and beyond, often featured in cookbooks and dessert menus.
