COOKING CANADA: Nanaimo Bars 🇨🇦

Nanaimo Bars have become part of Canadian heritage. There is a right way and a wrong way to make them. The 3 layer ratio needs to be proportionately correct or it will be frowned upon.. (I'm looking at you NYT). For those in Canada, this treat needs no introduction, but for everyone else, it is my privileged to introduce you to Canada's Nanaimo bar....from Nanaimo.
