| Look what today's Foodnetwork cookie is! Hummmmm, photo didn't copy w/recipe. Looks DEE-LISH!
Peanut Butter Nanaimo Bar (Canada) From Food Network Kitchens
Cookie:
Chocolate Glaze:
Line an 8 by 8-inch baking pan or casserole with aluminum foil, with long flaps hanging over each edge.
For the filling: Beat the butter, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until light. Spread over the cookie and freeze while you prepare the chocolate glaze. For the glaze: Put the chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl, and set over the barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. (Alternatively, put the chocolate and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt at 50 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 1 minute. Stir, and continue to heat until completely melted, about 1 minute more.). When cool but still runny, pour the chocolate layer over the chilled peanut butter layer and carefully smooth out with an offset spatula. Freeze 30 minutes. To serve, remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Pull out of the pan using the foil flaps and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife. Serve cool or at room temperature. Busy baker's tips: Finished bars can be wrapped in the pan in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil and frozen for up to 1 month.

| I looked at a recipe for the non-peanut butter type. It calls for "custard powder" What the heck is that? Is it like instant pudding? |
|
| ok, I'm gaining weight just looking at it Maria |
|
| Hah, Bama, that must be the same recipe I use. The custard powder comes in a small round tin, I think I buy it in the same area as puddings. I only use it for nanaimo bars, so it lasts a long time. I have to confess I had a piece of one for my snack tonite, ummmmmh super rich and yummmy, Cindy |

| In some ways I'm kinda glad I'm gluten intolerant. Keeps me from eating those extra calories this time of year. Those look/sound too delicious. Peanut butter chocolate fan here. And to keep it on forum topic: I wonder if you can 'mosaic' with them? |

| A funny thing... I knew there was a thread in here addressed to the Nanaimo girls, but hadn't looked at it, and I came in here this morning to use the thread to share this recipe. Looked at the thread, and lo and behold that's what it's here for :) I'm gonna make these for sure, of all the FN's cookie recipes I've gotten so far (this one is Day Ten of their Twelve Days of Cookies. Love you Nanaimo girls! Wish I'd known of you when I was IN Nanaimo ten years ago! Roni |

| Awww, Roni, you are so sweet! BAMA: I'm a die hard for stickin' to the plain jane "normal" Nanaimo Bar, ain't right ta go messing with perfection, like adding peanut butter!! (I wouldn't watch that new Star Trek Nex Generation, for the longest time either!)lol! |

| I'm gonna make 'em without pnb. I'm not crazy about it, and since they said they ADDed it, I'm gonna SUBTRACT it. So do you make the genuine article come with the chocolate glaze? |

| This is the first time I've visited here, saw this thread and as I was born and raised in Nanaimo thought you might be interested in the recipe Nanaimo has chosen for the official Nanaimo Bar Recipe. Most of us use Bird's Custard powder for this recipe it comes in a can. A...... |

| LOL, I am 70, I've always had a love for colored glass but have never dabbled in the art of stained glass or mosaic pieces. I hope you guys don't mind me lurking around admiring all of your handiwork and asking a few questions. You never know maybe there will be a new interest developing here, my motto is never say never.
