Nanaimo bars

I made these for Thanksgiving.  The custard got soft really fast after coming out of the refrigerator and this time I used a chocolate mint cookie in the crust because I thought I was out of graham cracker crumbs(but wasn't...).  I much prefer the regular because the chocolate mint made them SO rich!  Good but rich.
