Notes: I had this as a child at my friend Carol Hamilton's house and I thought they were the best thing I had ever tasted in my life. Her mother, Mrs. Huston, gave me the recipe. You can Google Nanaimo Bars and see that there is a legend about the recipe from Nanaimo, British Columbia. Their recipe is a little different but I am sticking with Mrs. Huston's!
