Hi Alida! 🙂 They’re not the best to ship. It’s ok to leave them out for a few hours, like if you take them to a party. They’ll soften up nicely but shouldn’t get too soft (as long as it’s not super hot where you are). I wouldn’t leave them out all day, just to be on the safe side. I’ve never had a problem with the egg curdling but I let the chocolate cool a bit. You could definitely add a little chocolate to the egg first, just to be on the safe side. I’d eat them within a 2-3 days. It’s a pretty forgiving recipe but it’s when freshest. Enjoy!

I so enjoy your blog. On these Nanaimo (I got it, with help from Italian pronunciation) Bars:
If the bars sit out on the counter for hours, will they get too soft to eat? (So, don’t plan on shipping these?).
2) Adding the egg to the heated chocolate mixture – won’t the egg curdle? I usually add a bit of the warm to the egg before adding the egg to the warm.
I am thinking these bars should be kept refrigerated and eaten within ___ days?

Hi Ian, you’re welcome to link to anything on the IDB but please do not use any IDB content on your site. Thanks!

I love this blog because of the Canadian content and I have a question to ask. I export Canadian Food & Beverage at my website and I would like to add a page for Canadian recipes. Would it be okay if I added some of the recipes from here to my page.

Cheers,

Yep, there’s 1 cup shredded coconut (I just fixed the ingredients list)!
