Mmm, nanaimo bars. Nothing like a hunk of butter encased in chocolate to celebrate the season.

Could you post a picture of what they look like?

What a coincidence. My friend is looking for a recipe for Nanaimo bars. Please post the recipe.

After trying a few different recipes, I think this is the best one. For the cocoa powder on the bottom layer I use the Hershey's dark cocoa powder.
Instead of the Bird's custard powder (a British item) you can use Jello instant vanilla pudding.
I put in a lot more walnuts on the bottom layer than the recipe calls for--probably double. And more melted chocolate on the top.

I'm not sure if all of these products are now available in Korea at say WalMart etc. You could always beg the relatives back home to send you a care package of the western ingredients--get lots of graham cracker crumbs if you're going to make a few batches--1 box doesn't go very far.

For anyone doing any Christmas baking, I highly recommend you use the Korean cocoa powder rather than the cheap, nasty Hershey's stuff. Take a look in the baking section of Homeplus, it comes in a zip-up plastic package. It's dark, rich, and very flavorful.

Thanks, eh! I'll pass it on. I'll be busy trying to make eggnog.



RTeacher, snappin' my fingers....

I was hoping to find almond bark and powdered sugar to make peanut butter cups to share with my co-teachers and office staff. I got the small cup cake papers at Emart to do it with, something I always wanted, but could never find in America. I think I'll bake some cookies instead.

It's Christmas season and I saw the most beautiful snowy weather early this morning out in rural Gangwondo. It was so such a puffy white blanket draped on the pine trees and traditional roofs. Very pretty until it melted around noon. I hope it does some more snowing.


Happy holidays and may this season find you warm and happy.

The first time I ate, or even heard of Nanaimo bars, oddly enough was my first week away from home at UBC.

There's lots of calories coming in the next couple of weeks-I won't be making any of those bars, as it's a losing battle.
