'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.
Oatmeal Energy Balls
I am a vegetarian and love to eat these oatmeal energy balls before I go to the gym. Sometimes I like to add extra whole peanuts to the recipe. Substitute ¼ cup dark chocolate chips for the raisins if desired. If you want to eat them on the go, wrap them in waxed paper and tie with a bread tie. Enjoy!
