I want to defend Nanaimo Bars, but I made them for the first time two years ago and learned to my horror that our family recipe calls for raw eggs in the bottom layer. Apparently, stirring the eggs in a bit of melted butter is supposed to "cook" them. We give these things away to our friends at Christmas! I believe a better name for them would be Salmonella Death Bars.

But their alternate name is in fact New York Slice.
