Being Canadian, these are a favourite treat of ours. I've been making these for years, as did my mother. Always a hit when bringing them to a gathering - if they make it past the front door without me eating them! There are many variations of this recipe, too, which makes it all the more wonderful. Add a bit of grand marnier, or mint to the filling (I've always just used confectioners sugar as mentioned in the recipe, without the pudding). I've never used nuts in the base - just coconut - so that works well if you aren't nuts about nuts! Happy Canada Day! And Happy 4th of July to our American friends! Thanks for the info., Dianne - I love it that this bar has so many "tweaks." It's a great candidate for doing your own thing while staying somewhat true to the original, isn't it? :) PJH
