Nanaimo Bar Recipe

I'm a Canadian, but live in the US. I used to buy Lemon and Orange Nanaimo bars that I just loved. Would anyone have a recipe for these very good bars? Thanks.

RE: Nanaimo Bar Recipe

The middle of a Nainaimo Bar should not be colored green unless you have added mint flavoring into that layer. The original kind has Bird's eye Custard Powder and no other flavoring. I have never had lemon or orange flavored ones, but I assume if you wanted to have this variation, all you would have to do is add some lemon or organge juice or extract to the middle layer, and maybe food coloring if you desired.

The vanilla custard powder has a distinctive flavor, and it is what makes them so good. Other kinds, made with something else -- condensed milk, for example -- may be good bars, but they aren't really Nanaimo bars.

None of these recipes included the detail that the middle layer should be colored green. One souce said it was to match the smoke stack of the ferry that serviced Nanaimo. Also, Tim Horton's donuts carries a decent nanaimo, or at least they did.
