"When my friend brought these to a Christmas party last year, EVERYONE went crazy over these. I had to beg her for the recipe and eventually she gave in.... Even though these bars have Cereal in them, they are truly more like a Nanimo Bar than they are a Rice Crispy Treat. Enjoy! I will be making these for years and years to come - I hope you will be too!"

These are really good!! I made them for an "adult" treat at my son's birthday party and they went really quick. I have never had a real nanimo bar so I can't judge that but I will make these again! Thanks!

My secret indulgence? Grocery Shopping. I can literally spend hours roaming up and down the aisles of a Supermarket. Sound crazy? Not if you're a self described "Foodie" like me. I am fortunate enough to live in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. The food community here is very rich in diversity, which has allowed me to sample tasty treats from all over the planet right here at home. Aside from the Supermarket, there are tons of smaller Ethnic Grocery Stores, Butcher shops and Bakeries here in the city. Vancouver is also home to the Granville Island Public Market - a food lovers haven! Imagine over 100 fresh produce, local seafood, speciatly meat and gourmet shops all in the same building... no wonder I love cooking so much! <a href="http://www.stickergiant.com/cooking-with-wine_y8565.html"> <img src="http://www.stickergiant.com/Merchant2/imgs/250/y8565.gif" width="300"height="250"border="0" alt="Cooking With Wine"></a>
