Nanaimo Bars Late Revealing

The January 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Lauren of Celiac Teen. Lauren chose Gluten-Free Graham Wafers and Nanaimo Bars as the challenge for the month. The sources she based her recipe on are 101 Cookbooks and www.nanaimo.ca.

I realized that I've already failed at my new year's resolution, and late is sometimes not better than never, but I figured I might as well give it a go. I think the hardest part for me was actually looking for all the random ingredients and then realizing that these bars take more than just a couple of hours to make (overnight needed). I also realized that I should've read the Daring Baker's forum first so that I could've saved myself from scraping up one of my very nice baking pans with a spatula trying to pry these suckers out. Sigh. One of these days I'll actually find 25 hours in a day to do everything that I want. Until then, here's the best I can give you.
