No oven necessary, but still a pleasure: no-bake chocolate-coconut slices for the sweet ending. Nanaimo bars, also known as chocolate coconut bars, are a sweet treat that originated in Canada.
These three-layer bars consist of a crispy base made from cookies and shredded coconut, followed by a creamy vanilla pudding filling and a rich chocolate ganache. Their distinctive taste and their easy preparation, which requires no baking at all, make them a popular dessert, snack or souvenir.
