Moody Foodie– I think millionaire’s shortbread also has caramel in the middle…these bars have more of an icing center. Similar concept, though, and both equally delicious!

This is really similar to millionaire’s shortbread isn’t it? But with a different base obviously…..They look absolutely divine. I am trying very hard not to drool on my desk!

According to local legend about 35 years ago, a Nanaimo housewife entered her recipe for chocolate squares in a magazine contest. In a burst of civic pride, she chose to dub the entry not “Daphne’s Delights” or “Mary’s Munchies”, but “Nanaimo Bars”. The entry won a prize, thereby publishing the town as much as her cooking. Some American tourists claim sovereignty over the dessert, referred to as “New York Slice” which is sold in many other places in the world. Nanaimo residents refuse to accept this theory, however, believing that once you set foot on Vancouver Island, there are no other places in the world.
