I believe all  home bakers  should have a good ‘no bake’ recipe up their sleeve. They are quick, easy and for the most part are huge crowd pleasers. They serve up and adapt to all functions from tea parties to bake sales and are just down right, no fuss, tasty.

 

These traditional and well loved bars from Canada completely tick that box.
