The Nanaimo bar is a dessert item of Canadian origin popular across North America. It is a bar dessert which requires no baking and is named after the west coast city of Nanaimo, British Columbia. It consists of a wafer crumb-based layer topped by a layer of custard flavoured butter icing which is covered with melted chocolate made from chocolate squares. Many varieties exist, consisting of different types of crumb, different flavours of icing (e.g., mint, peanut butter, coconut, mocha), and different types of chocolate. == Origins == The Nanaimo bar was first created in the Modern Cafe, located in Nanaimo, BC, Canada. The earliest confirmed printed copy of the recipe using the name "Nanaimo Bars" appears in the Edith Adams' prize cookbook (14th edition) from 1953. A copy of the book is on view at the Nanaimo museum. However, following research into the origins of Nanaimo bars, Lenore Newman writes that the same recipe was published in the ''Vancouver Sun'' earlier that same year under the name "London Fog Bar". The recipe later also appears in a publication entitled ''His/Her Favourite Recipes, Compiled by the Women's Association of the Brechin United Church'' (1957), with the recipe submitted by Joy Wilgress, a Baltimore, Maryland, native (p.52). (Brechin United Church is in Nanaimo.) This recipe also is reprinted in Kim Blank's book, ''Sex, Life Itself, and the Original Nanaimo Bar Recipe'' (Umberto Press, 1999, pp.127-29). In 1954 the recipe "Mabel's Squares" (p.84) was published in "The Country Woman's Favorite"〔(【引用サイトリンク】The Country Woman's Favorite )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】The Country Woman's Favorite )〕 by the Upper Gloucester Women's Institute (New Brunswick). The recipe was submitted by Mrs. Harold Payne, the daughter of Mabel (Knowles) Scott (1883-1957). The ingredients list, quantities, and fabrication closely match the recipe found on the City of Nanaimo web site. The first printing of recipes featuring Nanaimo bar ingredients is found in the 1952 Women's Auxiliary to the Nanaimo Hospital Cookbook, which features three nearly identical recipes that differ only slightly from the modern Nanaimo bar. They are referred to as the "Chocolate Square" or the "Chocolate Slice". Other unconfirmed references date the bars back to the 1930s, when it was said to be known locally as "chocolate fridge cake". Some New Yorkers claim the recipe originated in New York and refer to them as "New York Slices".〔(【引用サイトリンク】Nanaimo Bars )〕 However, Tim Hortons coffee shops, a Canadian chain, sell them in New York as "Nanaimo bars". One modern reference even refers to the bars' existing in nineteenth century Nanaimo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nanaimo bar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
