If you’ve known me a hot minute you know that I have a deep love (some might say obsession) with Nanaimo Bars. We are taking a confectionary soul mate kind of love here. They get me. When I’ve had a long day, nothing comforts me like a Nanaimo Bar. When I hit a milestone and need to celebrate, yep you guessed it, Nanaimo Bars are right there cheering me on. They’re my ride-or-die. My rock. My steady. My one true love.
Summer, that sweet season of freedom, late nights, and lakeside days, has come to a close. In an attempt to bolster my spirits and convince my children that not all things fall are fretful, I decided to bake up my first official “autumn” cake. I hope this Salted Maple Coconut cake is a tasty foray into fall for us all.
Ever since my days at Barkerville in my wild and completely irresponsible youth, I have held a flame for fudge. Rich and luxurious. Melting as soon as it hits the tongue. Delicious confectionery heaven. I don’t make fudge often but when I do you can be certain that it’s this dairy-free chocolate coconut fudge full of salted cashews.
You and I both know I’m a cake girl. I don’t care about the flavour, store-bought, or homemade. I will never turn down a slice of cake. But, when it comes to dessert squares, my heart will forever be held by Nanaimo Bars. These delicious little bars of no-bake...
