I Love Everything About It: 02/06/13

I so love this delicate dessert! So sweet and chocolaty. You must try this. I will say that this is a quite expensive dessert to make but it's worth it! and it's also a time consuming to make.
Nanaimo Bars is originally from Canada and this is a popular dessert across Northern America. See this website for further information: Nanaimo Bars.

Things you need:

-Non stick pan (square or rectangular)
-electric egg beater, if you don't have one then you'l gonna be just like what I do, I only used fork to beat the butter sometimes you have to improvise.
-spatula
-bowls
-measuring cup

Ingredients & Procedures:

This is not my own recipe, I just copied this online.

Me, I didn't really used the Hershey's cocoa powder, I used the Goya probably more cheaper than Hershey's. But if you want your Nanaimo Bars to taste perfect you can substitute it with your high choice of cocoa powder (100% cocoa powder sweetened or unsweetened), any brand will do I guess.

Knox Gelatin powder unflavored

Procedure:

* Dissolve sugar and unflavored gelatin in Sprite on a pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Mold. Cut into cubes later.

Combine Nestle Cream and Condensed Milk in a bowl. Add vanilla. Mix really well.

In a cup, pour the contents of the Knox envelopes. Add SOME boiling water, ENOUGH to dissolve the gelatin. When everything's dissolved, pour the Knox gelatin into the milk-and-cream batter. Mix well. Add in the cubed flavored gelatin. Mix again and then mold for 8 hours in the fridge.
