Note: It has been proven that a Nanaimo Bar contains zero calories provided it is eaten with a mug of egg nog! Enjoy this traditional Christmas treat.
You are wrong when you say it has zero calories when eaten with egg nog. However, there is a way to get rid of the calories. Break the bar into two pieces before eating it. Breaking of the bar causes Caloric Leakage.
