Nanaimo Bars are a classic no-bake Canadian treat, built in three distinct layers. You start with a rich, chocolatey coconut-graham crust, followed by a creamy, vanilla-forward custard filling. The final touch is a smooth, glossy chocolate ganache that sets up firm. They're straightforward to assemble and just need some chilling time to firm up before slicing.
