Nanaimo Bars

Nanaimo Bars

Nanaimo Bars have always been a favorite of mine, and I married a man who loves them even more. When we got married, I had my Mom's recipe and he had his Mom's recipe and I blended them together to come up with the best! Nanaimo! Bar! Ever! Well, at least in my husband's opinion.

BOTTOM:

3/4 cup butter/margarine, melted
1/3 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup chocolate chips
2 1/2 cups Graham (hee!) cracker crumbs
Mix together and place in 8-inch square pan.  Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.

Chill.

MIDDLE:

1/4 cup butter
2 cups sifted icing sugar
2 Tbsp Birdseye (or any) custard powder
1/4 cup cream/milk (as needed to keep soft)

Mix together, put on top of the bottom layer, and chill.

TOP:

3 chocolate squares
1/4 cup butter margarine (melted)

Stir together and spread on top with a spatula.

Try not to eat the entire batch in one sitting.
