Alas! The long awaited recipe, I promised ... and hoping for some more from the rest of you!
This is a favourite that I bring out and make for Christmas. I always do the peppermint option, but that can be up to you. Some use other flavourings, such as orange, rum, butterscotch etc. but for me it's peppermint (or plain) that seems the way to do it!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nanaimo Bars
(no bake)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Melt in double boiler
1/2 cup butter
Add in
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg (whisk in a little of the hot to the egg, then whisk it all back to the hot)

Remove from heat and add
2 cups graham wafer crumbs
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Press into 9"x9" pan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cream
1/4 cup butter
Blend in
3 tbsp. milk
2 tbsp. vanilla instant pudding powder
2 cups sifted icing sugar
Optional: peppermint extract
Optional: green food colouring

Spread evenly over crumb mix and chill well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Melt together
1 cup chocolate chips
2 tbsp. butter

Spread thin layer over chilled mixture.
Cut into bars or squares when cold.
