I was going to say, "it's not," but knowing how the DU Lounge is, I decided it would be better not to.

When she learned they were my favorite.

My female coworkers have forbidden me from bringing these to work.

Sure are tasty.

The first known recipe for Nanaimo bars appeared in the 1952 Women’s Auxiliary of the Nanaimo Hospital Cookbook and was labelled “chocolate square.” One year later, a similar recipe was published in Vancouver’s Edith Adams’ Cookbook, this time going by the name “Nanaimo Bar.” These are the bar’s earliest known publications, but Nanaimo Museum interpretation curator Aimee Greenaway figures they’ve been around much longer.
