3. Press mixture into your pan using a rubber spatula.

Much like the butter tart and date square, the Nanaimo bar fits Canada's apparent predilection for rich, decadent sweets. It is a dessert bar that requires no baking and generally consists of three layers: a graham wafer crumb and shredded coconut base, custard-flavoured butter icing in the middle, and a layer of chocolate ganache on top.
