Sarah D's Nanaimo Bar Frozen Custard

Nanaimo Bars have always been my absolute favourite square, and from that I got the idea for this fabulous frozen dessert. A Bird's vanilla-custard batter with chocolate graham wafer, walnut, and coconut crumbled throughout, topped with your favourite chocolate sauce. The response every time someone tastes it?: "Wow! This tastes just like Nanaimo Bars!"

Mini Present Cupcakes

Each of these adorable mini cupcakes is topped with a special treat: candy presents! Square or rectangular candies work best, but you can easily trim them to fit if you want a variety of gift box shapes.
