How to Make Nanaimo Bars With 6 Variations
- **Prepare the Crust:** Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cocoa powder, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix well until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- **Make the Buttercream:** In a separate bowl, beat softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and creamy. Stir in the custard powder until fully incorporated. Spread the buttercream evenly over the crust.
- **Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:** Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips with heavy cream in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth and glossy. Pour the ganache over the buttercream layer and spread evenly.
- **Chill:** Refrigerate the Nanaimo bars for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is set and firm. This allows the flavors to meld and the bars to solidify.
- **Cut and Serve:** Once chilled, cut the bars into squares and serve. Enjoy! For the filling variations, simply substitute your chosen variation in step 2.
