Daring Bakers January 2010 - Nanaimo Bars

The January 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Lauren of Celiac Teen. Lauren chose Gluten-Free Graham Wafers and Nanaimo Bars as the challenge for the month. The sources she based her recipe on are 101 Cookbooks and www.nanaimo.ca.

I'm a little late posting this, but these were quick to assemble. I used hazelnuts instead of almonds but otherwise followed the recipe as is!

These are sweet, way too sweet for me, and even an extra sprinkling of nuts on top didn't do much to cut it down. I will be bringing these in to work on Friday, stop by until we get sent home for snow. :)

On the other hand, it is always nice to pay a culinary tribute to Canada. I share a birthday with the country, so we're close.

Beautifullly done, Jenny! I agree, way too sweet. Next time I would omit the butterream filling and use something else, but then they wouldn't be Nanaimo's! Oh, well lol
