    Got more on that description?
    Dripped some.... and Nanaimo bars has a light chocolate. Not a milk or a dark chocolate, it's somewhere in the middle. There is a very mild sweetness but it also has something not sweet in it that balances it out nicely. Those stay consistent through various wattages. I taste something like a cake and maybe a very light graham cracker at higher watts.

    I would consider nanaimo bars to be a fine starting point for a dessert mix and other ideas too. IMO it's also good enough to be vaped single.
    Nanaimo-Bars-10.jpg

    Nanaimo bars are a Canadian dessert and are named for the coastal city of Nanaimo, British Colombia.

    In real life it consists of three layers: a wafer, nut (walnuts, almonds, or pecans), and coconut crumb base; a custard icing in the middle; and a layer of chocolate ganache on top. Many varieties exist, consisting of various types of crumb, various flavours of icing (such as peanut butter or coconut, mocha), and various types of chocolate like a semi-sweet chocolate. Some people use graham cracker instead of wafer. They can be made to be very sweet or not sweet.


    IMO WF Nanaimo Bars is neutral enough that I can see using it in many ways. It worked well when I tested it with my ice cream base. It would work well with Tiramisu or a straight up coffee. Cakes. I can see adding a darker berry to it. Hazelnut, or some other nut, will work well. It would work well in a chocolate shake. Pudding. And likely more.

    :)

    ETA: I can also see trying to make the actual nanimo bars per some of the foodie site recipes I've seen.

    That sounds like a perfect Cappuccino starting point to me.
    Who has it?

    I hope you get an improvement in weather.
    Tomorrow's supposed to be when the wind is at its worst.

    It'll be fine. The medical center is only a couple/three miles out the road. Of course, I won't be doing the driving, so it's easy for me to talk.
