How to Make Orange Nanaimo Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. **Make the base:** Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and powdered sugar in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. **Make the filling:** In a saucepan, whisk together orange zest, orange juice, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and eggs. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Spread the cooled orange filling evenly over the graham cracker base.
  5. **Make the topping:** Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter in a double boiler or microwave. Spread evenly over the filling.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
  7. Optional: Garnish with extra orange zest before serving for an extra pop of color and flavor.
