looks good to me. Funny I was in Nova Scotia a year or so ago and I tried to find a Nanaimo bar somewhere and didn't see one anywhere! I heard so much about them on the internet and found none. We traveled in the car throughout all of Nova Scotia, except for Louisburg, and saw none. I did find Strawberry Kit Kat bars, and Banana Kit Kat bars but no Nainamo bars.

I adore candy corn though. They look overly sweet but delicious.

I'm from Nanaimo & I remember my Nana teaching me how to make Nanaimo Bars wayyy back when I was a tyke. It's a rare day when I make these, they're just too sweet for me but a nice reminder of home.

This version just cracks me up. I never even tasted candy corn until I moved to the US a few years ago. Yuck!

I've been longing for a proper Nanaimo Bar for years since I left Canada - I'm not actually from Nanaimo, but close enough for people to take the institution very seriously.

I brought these in to work today and they disappeared instantly. Even the people who were grossed out by the idea (melted candy corn? a what bar?) had to admit that they were fantastically tasty.

This is the only variation I will accept on the holy Nanaimo, but it's one I will defend to the death.

I miss bbq munchos, planters cheeseballs (there is another brand available now in a large container that are good but...) and morton raspberry filled powdered donuts. Oh, those were the days.

On a business trip to Ottawa, I happened to be in the office on a someone's birthday, and the sales manager made Nanaimo bars for the crew. I totally want that tradition!

I have resisted getting a bag of mellowcreme pumpkins this year so far. I mean, I used to eat a whole bag at some point around Halloween every year.

Hello from Hillary in Texas!

I wanted to share with you that all my female friends are avid whiskey drinkers. As a great mixer with diet coke (a 'girl' drink), we can imbibe whatever amount to our heart's desires without ballooning up. Of course, I may add my friends and I are big drinkers, so it was an acquired taste. I drink almost strictly only whiskey drinks these days and have for the past several years!

Most of the time I drink Jim Beam (great Bourbon for the price). Beats out every brand by far. Jim Beam is a very great friend in my social circle.

I'm in my thirties, and I'm a recent born-again convert to whiskey. In fact, it's mostly the only type of liqueur I drink anymore. My go-to drinks are Manhattans and Sazeracs, but when the weather gets cold, I love nothing better than a peaty, seaweed highlands Scotch.

Favorite Bourbon: Eagle Rare
Favorite Single Malt Scotch: Lagavulin (from Islay)

I haven't gotten into Irish or Canadian whiskey. And I haven't yet tried a Japanese whiskey, which is apparently trendy these days.

I'm 26 and grew up with an appreciation of whiskey thanks to a Grandma who's cocktail of choice is a CC and water, and a mom who's favorite drink is Scotch neat with a glass of ice. I prefer bourbon (Makers). Add to that my husbands growing collection of islay whiskeys (current shelf includes Laphroig, Brucchladich, Caio Illa, and some other ones i won't even try to misspell. Needless to say whiskey takes up a whole liquor shelf in our house and we're definitely going to whiskeyfest in Chicago this year!

I am a 24 year-old female from Kentucky, so bourbon is almost like a religion. You at least have to learn to drink it, even if it's not your favorite. That being said, I prefer Maker's Mark and Woodford, but know a lot of guys who won't even touch the stuff. I just say, it's part of where I grew up!

I realize this is an old topic but I had to comment. Before I fell victim to a most unpleasant allergy to tomatoes I always enjoyed tomato gravy and biscuits. Now its butter and maple syrup. I also have to agree with many of ya'll....a good plain biscuit is its own type of heaven.

Thank you for this post! It made me smile from ear to ear. I just found Batman themed Airheads at Target yesterday, which included a grape flavored bar. I was thrilled beyond belief and trying to find an excuse to go back so I can buy 10 bags of Airheads just to get the one grape!

@PerkyMac I agree Duffield's is good but Zimmermans Farm on Salina Road is much better. There is nothing like getting corn still warm from the field to eat a couple hours later. It's so sweet and perfect.
