How to Make Chocolate Mint Nanaimo Bars
- **Crust:** In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cocoa powder. Cut in the melted butter until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- **Mint Filling:** In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter, icing sugar, and peppermint extract until light and fluffy. Gradually add the cream and beat until smooth. Spread evenly over the crust.
- **Chocolate Ganache:** In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly until it thickens enough to spread. Spread the ganache evenly over the mint filling.
- **Chill:** Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow the bars to set completely before cutting into squares.
- **Serve:** Slice into bars and serve. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs if desired.
