If you want thicker Nanaimo bars, you can double the recipe, but use the same size pan.
Also, I mention using a double boiler in this recipe. If you don't have a double boiler you can just place a metal or ceramic bowl on top of a pot of simmering water (what I did). The reason for using this method, is to prevent the chocolate from burning, as direct heat (or even using a microwave) will not melt the chocolate properly, but using the steam from the simmering water will provide a very even lower intensity heat.
