An Awesome Canadian Dessert

While recently visiting some dear Canadian friends we were treated more than once to one of the most awesome desserts we have ever had, genuine full cream Canadian real vanilla ice cream and Nanaimo Bars. Don’t know what a Nanaimo Bar is? The search engine of your choice (mine is Duck Duck Go) is your friend.
