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.

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.

I'm Canadian and I don't care for Nanaimo bars. I like Nanaimo though, nice place.

Don't you be blaming Canucks for that - I can barely FIND candy corn up north here and THAT is no nanaimo bar!

It's shameful but I love the tuna salad sandwiches at Subway/Quiznos... pretty much any place where it was prepared in a vat. It's the only way I like it, actually, I don't care for the fancy version with recognizable tuna in it.

My most guilty fast food pleasure is Taco Bell. It's just so... melty and mind boggling cheap. Two bean burritos, nachos (the ones where you just get a little cup of "cheese"), and a caramel apple empanada. I believe it comes in at under $3. Would have starved to death in grad school without Taco Bell.

OK, I admit to liking Chick-Fil-A. I even like their ads, but only when I am in the mall with my daughter can I eat there. And these days, she likes the salad place--can't recall the name, but for a ton of $$ they make you a salad with whatever you want on it. If you're there anyway...
Finally, even though I am a southerner, I just can't do chicken for breakfast. Ham and bacon, yes. Chicken, no. Do I get penalized three "ya'lls?"

@aliceblue LOL

@Jfitz, Waffle House huh? wow, the only time I ever set foot in one of those, the cook had many many prison tattoos and my waitress had more facial hair than me!

I have yet to a see a Subway in my area serve breakfast. This must be a regional thing. Doubt I would partake as well.

Any breakfast at any Waffle House on any Interstate off-ramp is a guilty pleasure . The food is good , the staff well trained but as some comedian put it " it is kinda like eating in a bus station restroom "
