Nanaimo Bars II image

A no-bake square, that freezes well. I make these during the year, but they are a must on my Christmas baking list as family and friends look for them. My parents live just outside of Nanaimo, B.C. Canada.

I had some trouble getting the custard layer to set, but the bars still tasted great.
