Followed the advice of other reviewers, and used almonds and slightly less bread crumbs. I got compliments on them from a men's league. That, and the ease of the recipe, makes it a five star recipe.

I doubled the recipe, so I could make a 9x13 pan full. I did not use nuts, and I quadrupled the chocolate topping (Double it in a regular batch). Awesome!!

This really was just an okay dessert. Even though I cut down the sugar to half the amount in the entire recipe, it was still too sweet for our tastes (and we love desserts). Thanks anyways.

I use half the amount of sugar in the bottom layer, and only 1/2 C icing sugar in the middle layer.

Nice sweet treat, pretty much a perfect Nanaimo bar the only thing was must be kept cool or it goes a bit droopy but tastes just as awesome if not more so.

I read the reviews before making this recipe and changed a couple things. I didn't add as much icing sugar, only about a cup and 3/4. And I doubled the chocolate that goes on top since I like the chocolate.

This was very yummy. The bottom was great but I didnt have the right custard on hand, i used a caramel custard and it just wasnt quite right. Other than this, it was great!

I made these bars for a lady at work for Christmas and boy-oh-boy; if these don't cure your sweet tooth, nothing will!!

I've been wanting to make these bars for about a year, but could never find the custard powder without paying double for shipping. That is, until I found it while shopping in an "English" store while in Sydney, Australia. I found room for it in my luggage and made it about a week later. They turned out great. I did add an extra square of chocolate as suggested. I never had these before, so I have nothing to compare them to, but they were delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
