Wholesome cooking can be difficult because many of us do not wish to spend time planning and preparing meals which our own families won't eat. At the exact same timewe want our own families to be healthy so we feel compelled to learn new and improved methods of cooking healthy foods for our family to enjoy (and regrettably in certain circumstances scorn).

This does not necessarily mean you cannot like the occasional calorie splurge and maybe you need ton't.

Nanaimo bars come from the town of Nanaimo, on Victoria Island, off the coast from Vancouver. They're very popular in the west coast of the country, whereas people on the East coast tend to prefer Butter tarts (see my profile for a recipe for those 😉) I hope people from all of the east coasts of the world can enjoy this delicious dessert! If you want thicker Nanaimo bars, you can double the recipe, but use the same size pan. Also, I mention using a double boiler in this recipe. If you don't have a double boiler you can just place a metal or ceramic bowl on top of a pot of simmering water (what I did). The reason for using this method, is to prevent the chocolate from burning, as direct heat (or even using a microwave) will not melt the chocolate properly, but using the steam from the simmering water will provide a very even lower intensity heat.
