CAPPUCCINO NANAIMO BARS



Cappuccino Nanaimo Bars image

These are even better than store-bought! If you love coffee you will love these bars --- if you do not have any custard powder you can use the same amount of instant vanilla pudding powder but the custard powder is better --- all amount may be doubled for a 13 x 9-inch pan if desired :)

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, use high-quality ingredients. Opt for a rich, dark chocolate, creamy butter, and freshly brewed coffee.
  • Chill the bars thoroughly before slicing and serving. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from becoming too messy.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make the crust by hand. Simply combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • For a more intense coffee flavor, use espresso powder in the ganache filling.
  • Feel free to experiment with different toppings. Chopped nuts, grated chocolate, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce are all great options.
