Outside Canada
Similar delicacies are found outside of Canada, particularly in the Pacific Northwest and New York City. They have been sold in Southport, United Kingdom, in shops and restaurants since the 1980s. In 2009, Dirt Candy, a New York City restaurant owned and operated by Chef Amanda Cohen, put a version of Nanaimo bars on the menu, inspiring several Canadians to protest that their unique dessert was being Americanized. Nanaimo bars can also be found in Australian coffee shops in large cities. Nanaimo Bars are also sold in Vientienne, Laos at some small coffee shops along the Mekong river.
