My 10 year old daughter is in the hospital for the third day today. I've found a Weight Watcher magazine in the waiting room from January/February. Inside it has a delicious looking dessert called Nanaimo Bars. I went to the page where the recipe should be and someone had ripped it out. If anyone has it, PLEASE post it. Also, if anyone has one called Pecan Perfect that would be great, too. Thanks in advance!!
