Nanaimo Bars

Nanaimo Bars

Three Layers of yumm!

If you are from British Columbia then you will be familiar with Nanaimo Bars, a three-layer sweet treat named after a town on Vancouver Island. 

We always ate Nanaimo bars when I was a kid. They have a crust of graham cracker and chocolate, followed by a layer of buttery icing sugar with vanilla pudding, and finally, a thin layer of chocolate on top. I hadn’t had a Nanaimo bar in decades and was excited to make them after I found an old recipe in one of my mother’s recipe books. They tasted exactly as I remembered!

Dream Squares

These delicious squares are filled with walnuts, coconut and a whole lot of sweetness.  

When buying coconut do you ever wonder whether you should use sweetened or unsweetened coconut in recipes?

While there is no hard rule, you will usually want to use sweetened coconut for sweet recipes, and unsweetened coconut for savoury dishes. You will find that sweetened shredded coconut is chewier than unsweetened coconut because it is drier and has a stronger taste.

Although it is a plant, coconut does contain saturated fat, which means it can go rancid. It is best to keep opened packages in your refrigerator and use within six months.
