Yes, the coconut layer is not the same as a traditional nanaimo bar. I have custard powder (as I do make regular nanaimo bars just for the holidays), and the ingredients aren’t so healthy…a lot of additives.

I haven’t yet made a homemade graham cracker yet, as I believe for it to taste really graham-like, they contain wheat. But maybe someday I’ll come up with a gluten free alternative!

Thanks and if you make it, would love to know how it turns out!

I think these look super tasty, especially because I like coconut. However the coconut layer would certainly differ in taste/texture from a traditional Nanaimo bar. Perhaps a custard powder instead of the coconut would make for a more traditional bar? I would also always opt to make a base from scratch (rather than store bought sweet cookies) – I look forward to trying this recipe out and playing around with it. Thanks Kristine 🙂
