So
hello there, here is the video from me. When we decided to do videos
were we would be making food from New Zealand, Canada and Australia I
really wanted to do the Canadian one. The girls were fine with that
and than I started digging for good, but also easy Canadian recipes.
I had Canadian food and drinks in a seminar in English class so I
knew a few things about the “most Canadian ones”. First I wanted
to make a typical Canadian solomon dish but than I thought I should
probably do something more easier an cheaper and than I came up with
the Nanaimo Bars.
The
Nanaimo Bars are three layered chocolate - nuts bars.
They taste a bit like chocolate cake but though it is very different.
The Canadians really like these bars and they have many different
recipes that include different things. The bars are most popular in
British Columbia and also in the United States. I found a recipe and
used it beside me but than I did some things my way. The outcome was
delicious. Here is my recipe:
First
layer:
1
cup crunched Graham biscuits
1/2
cup shredded coconut
1/3
finely chopped pecan nuts (doesn't matter what type of nuts you use,
use your favorite!)
1/4
cup cocoa powder
1/4
cup white sugar
1/3
cup almost melted butter
1
egg
Second
layer – the filling:
1/4
cup butter
2
tablespoons caramel custard powder (use the flavor you want!)
1/2
tablespoon vanilla drops
2
cups icing sugar
2
tablespoons milk
Third
layer – the topping:
120
grams semi dark chocholate (Mine included 45% cocoa)
1-2
tablespoons butter
For
instructions you have to watch the video and if you have questions
you can just comment here beneath. I got the original recipe from the
