Kahlua Dream Bars
I always double this recipe so everyone gets a piece. For a glaze with deeper flavor, use 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate and 2 ounces semisweet.—Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

Reviews
I would love to do this recipe but I don't have a candy thermometer. What stage would this be using the cold water method?
These are basically Nanaimo bars with Kahlua added for flavouring in the filling rather than vanilla. You could probably use other cream liqueurs too.
We loved this! Very rich so cut into small squares, but oh so good. My nephew requested it for his birthday "cake" next month too!
Found the bottom layer to be very dry and tasteless. Also found that 1/3 Kahlua was way too much for 3 cups of icing sugar.
