ItB次元官网网址檚 always the right time to take another tasty trip along the Nanaimo Bar Trail.

A scaled-down COVID-19 version of the self-guided tour, based on the taste bud-tantalizing treat, operated last year, explained Jenn Houtby-Ferguson, Tourism Nanaimo interim executive director, but things should be pretty much back to normal by now.

While the traditional Nanaimo bar will be offered at some new places this year, like White Rabbit Coffee Co. in the Old City Quarter, Houtby-Ferguson said there are also some non-traditional offerings.

B次元官网网址淥ne of the other things that weB次元官网网址檝e added is a Nanaimo B次元官网网址榖arreB次元官网网址� stop, which is at Zen Revolution Yoga and Spin,B次元官网网址� said Houtby-Ferguson. B次元官网网址淪o thatB次元官网网址檚 kind of fun, right? ItB次元官网网址檚 downtown and if people want to get their exercise on, they can work off their Nanaimo bars in a different kind of way.B次元官网网址�

Burnt Honey Dessert Company is offering Nanaimo bar macarons, which while not B次元官网网址渟uper sweet,B次元官网网址� are still delicious, said Houtby-Ferguson.

B次元官网网址淭here were also some other additions that arenB次元官网网址檛 necessarily NanaimoB次元官网网址檚,B次元官网网址� Houtby-Ferguson said. For example, there was a Nanaimo bar liqueur that was introduced just before Christmas and [Nestl茅 Aero] makes a Nanaimo bar chocolate bar, so itB次元官网网址檚 that notoriety and that helps continue to raise awareness.B次元官网网址�

Brochures with suggested stops on the Nanaimo Bar Trail are available at the visitor centre at Northfield Road as well as at participating businesses and on Tourism NanaimoB次元官网网址檚 websit, .

Interest in the Nanaimo bar isnB次元官网网址檛 limited to the city B次元官网网址� the dessert is world-famous, as witnessed by a social media post from the New York Times last year. It started a kerfuffle, recounted Houtby-Ferguson, as the picture used didnB次元官网网址檛 have correct ingredient ratios. It only served to amplify awareness of the Nanaimo bar.
