NANAIMO BARS (Page 5 ) | September 18, 2023

Annonce:

The chocolate layer on top often makes it difficult to make clean cuts without the chocolate cracking. Here are my tips:

Don’t forget the oil in the chocolate topping.
When the chocolate is about 75% hardened, score the top of the bars by gently tracing the line where you’ll cut them. Slide the knife across as you score the bars – just going into the chocolate layer.
Use a thin, sharp knife (not a table knife).
Don’t cut the bars when they’re cold from the fridge. Room temperature chocolate is much easier to cut.

VARIATIONS
To make Nanaimo bars without coconut – use 2 ¼ cups graham crumbs and ¾ cup chopped walnuts in the base layer.
To make Nanaimo bars without nuts – use 2 cups graham crumbs and 1 cup shredded coconut in the base layer.
For a less sweet Nanaimo bar – make sure to use unsweetened coconut in the base layer. Use ¼ cup less powdered sugar in the middle, and dark chocolate for the topping.
