RASPBERRY NANAIMO BARS

These Raspberry Nanaimo Bars are a delicious twist on a Canadian classic. One of the most popular cookie recipes during last holiday season, and a delicious contribution to my obsession with this particular flavour combination, was our new chocolate orange version.

Nanaimo Bars are a Canadian favorite cookie treat, that’s practically an institution across the nation. Nanaimo Bars are said to have originated in the early 50’s near Nanaimo British Columbia on Canada’s west coast and have continued to be popular ever since.

I’ve seen several versions, including vanilla, mint, and even Bailey’s Irish Cream. Today though, we decided some fresh raspberry would go very well with the chocolate in these no-bake treats.
