Bars: Squamish Bar

Canadian Living Magazine-submitted by Anne


Recipe Introduction


"British Columbia has more than one no-bake square named after one of its towns. The Squamish bar, peanutty and crisp with cereal, may be pretend to be a cookie, but, just like its cousin, the Nanaimo bar, it's really candy and should therefore be cut into very small squares and served as special treats." Anne's note:I do not know whether there really is a "Squamish Bar" or if Canadian Living made this up.
