Amid a pandemic, who would have thought a how-to dessert video posted on Twitter would be causing such a stir amongst British Columbians.

Buzzfeed Canada recently posted a Tasty video on Twitter, showing how to make Nanaimo Bars four different ways.

While some were disturbed by the notion that B次元官网网址渂irthday cake Nanaimo BarsB次元官网网址� would even be suggested as an alternative to the traditional bar, it was the lack of namesake B次元官网网址� instead calling the dessert a B次元官网网址淐anadian Chocolate BarB次元官网网址� that sparked the loudest concerns.

B次元官网网址淣o. Just no. Quit it. Knock it off. These are an insult to everything that is a Nanaimo Bar. The people responsible should be schooled on actual Nanaimo Bars,B次元官网网址� wrote @TTHipFreak.

B次元官网网址淭his video is called: 4 wrong ways to make a Nanaimo Bar + 1 wrong way to call it,B次元官网网址� wrote @plantforwardfam.

According to the Food NetworkB次元官网网址檚 Great Canadian Cookbook, the first known recipe for Nanaimo bars appeared in the 1952 WomenB次元官网网址檚 Auxiliary of the Nanaimo Hospital Cookbook. At the time, it was simply named a B次元官网网址渃hocolate square.B次元官网网址�

It was in Edith AdamsB次元官网网址� cookbook, published a year later, that the dessert was appropriately labelled the Nanaimo Bar.

In a separate tweet, Buzzfeed Canada apologized for the error, citing that colleagues in Los Angeles had made the video.

our friends in LA made this video and named it Canadian Chocolate Bars. I'm sorry to all the Canadians we've offended with this video. It was never our intention. - Sincerely, a real Canadian
