The Nanaimo bar's prominent place in Canadian confectionery is getting a sweet boost thanks to the announcement by Canada Post that it will be featured on a stamp. The grahamy,-coconutty-custardy-chocolate-no-bake treat is one of five Canadian desserts featured in a new Sweet Canada stamp set scheduled for release on April 17. Also getting the Canada Post stamp of approval is Saskatoon berry pie, butter tarts, tarte au sucre (sugar pie) and blueberry grunt. Besides the Nanaimo bar, the new stamp set also features Saskatoon berry pie butter tarts, tarte au sucre (sugar pie) and blueberry grunt. A booklet of 10 permanent domestic Sweet Canada stamps goes for $9.
