Nanaimo Bites – recipe
January 5, 2012 in Christmas, Confections, Holidays, Recipes by Cathy
I created this recipe by adapting my friend Colleen’s, most AWESOME recipe for Naniamo Bars. I have changed some of the ingredients so that they could be formed into bites (and because I always like to put my own twist on things 
)
