Rose Murray's Raspberry Nanaimo Bars
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Not only is the origin of Nanaimo Bars a hot topic of debate, the bars themselves are still hot as a favourite Canadian treat. Since the 1950's, endless variations have included Minted, Grand Marnier, Cherry, Pina Colada, Mocha, Peanut Butter and Orange. I have not seen a Raspberry Nanaimo Bar, and found that raspberry liqueur added a touch of elegance to this familiar three-layered bar cookie.
