Canadians don’t joke around when it comes to desserts. Even the B.C. Premier called out BuzzFeed when they posted a recipe video Nanaimo Bars, but called them something else. 

John Horgan's tweet on Wednesday, September 16, responded to BuzzFeed Canada video that shows you how to make a staple Nanaimo bar four different ways — but they call it a "Canadian Chocolate Bar."

“
