Use Rice Chrispie cereal (crushed with a rolling pin) in the base rather than home-made Graham Crackers. The filling can be made with pastry cream; once cooled add a 1/2 cup of beaten whipped cream. The surface chocolate can be done with a good semi sweet chocolate ganache. WONDERFUL! Nanaimo Bars can be absolutely fabulous, gluten free, & not sooooooo sweet.

I must say that the sweetness in these bars is not missing. I would have to agree that they are too sweet. I am going to try powdered milk in place of the milk and thinner layers of the chocolate/sugar. Also I thought of using pecans rather than the almonds. I will let you know how it turns out.

Never knew they were called Mabel bars! I found them a bit too rich and sweet, but no one complained. In fact, my husband and daughter were fighting for the last few pieces! They’re lovely.

The graham crackers were AWESOME though. I love your addition of sliced almonds...so pretty. I agree about the texture but my problem was more the coconut. The graham crackers were AWESOME though.
