Recipe Summary 'Not Nanaimo Bar' Squares

Growing up for some reason we referred to these as 'Oh Henry Squares'. I've no idea why, but I have not served them without people requesting the recipe and rave reviews. I don't know the origin. It's just been passed on through my family.

Ingredients | Meal Prep Nanaimo

½ cup peanut butter

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup corn syrup

2 cups cornflakes cereal

1 cup crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies®)

2 cups confectioners' sugar

2 tablespoons custard powder

½ cup margarine, melted

1 tablespoon warm water, or as needed

4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, chopped

2 tablespoons margarine

Directions

Grease an 8x8-inch square pan.

Cook and stir peanut butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup together in a large pot over medium heat just until warm and well blended, about 3 minutes; remove from heat. Stir cornflakes cereal and crispy rice cereal into peanut butter mixture; press cereal mixture evenly into the prepared pan.

Whisk confectioners' sugar and custard powder together in a bowl. Whisk 1/2 cup melted margarine gradually into custard mixture. Stir warm water into custard mixture to moisten to a spreadable consistency; spread evenly over cereal mixture.

Melt chocolate with remaining 2 tablespoons margarine in a microwave-safe bowl, about 1 minute. Pour chocolate mixture over custard layer. Refrigerate cookies until chocolate is hardened, about 30 minutes; cut into 1-inch squares.

Can be made gluten-free by simply substituting both cereals with gluten-free versions.
