How to Make White Chocolate Bars

Ingredients

• Melted butter, 225g or 1 cup (make sure it’s cooled down)
• Brown sugar or demerara sugar, 340g or 1¾ cups (light is better)
• Two eggs
• All-purpose or plain flour, 285g or 2 cups
• White chocolate chips, 100g or ½ cup

Directions

1. Set the oven to 180°C/356°F and line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper.
2. Whisk the sugar and eggs together in a medium-sized bowl until well blended.
3. Slowly pour in the cooled melted butter while stirring the egg mixture.
4. Stir in the flour until it’s fully mixed in. The batter will get super thick.
5. Fold in the white chocolate chips, making sure they’re spread out evenly.
6. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smooth the surface, and if you want, sprinkle some sea salt on top.
7. Bake for 25 minutes until the edges are firm, and the top is golden.
8. Leave it to cool completely in the tin before lifting it out and slicing it into 9 pieces.

How to Serve White Chocolate Bars

Once your white chocolate bars are cooled and sliced, you can serve them as a delightful dessert or snack. They are delicious on their own, or you can pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. You can also serve them with fresh fruit, like strawberries or raspberries, for a refreshing contrast.

How to Store White Chocolate Bars

To keep your white chocolate bars fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay good for about a week. If you want to keep them for a longer time, you can place them in the refrigerator. Just remember to bring them back to room temperature before serving for the best taste.

Tips to Make White Chocolate Bars

• Make sure your butter is cooled before adding it to the egg mixture. This prevents the eggs from cooking and ensures a smooth batter.
• For a fun twist, you can add nuts like chopped almonds or macadamia nuts for a crunchy texture.
• If you prefer a more intense flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.

Variation

You can easily switch up this recipe by using dark or milk chocolate chips instead of white chocolate. This will give you a different taste while still keeping the bars delicious. You might also consider adding a swirl of peanut butter or almond butter into the batter for extra richness.

FAQs

1. Can I use unsalted butter instead of melted butter?
Yes! Unsalted butter works just fine in this recipe. Just adjust the salt if you’re using unsalted butter and adding sea salt on top.

2. Can I freeze the white chocolate bars?
Absolutely! You can freeze them in an airtight container. Just be sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They can last up to three months in the freezer.

3. What can I do if my bars are too dry?
If the bars turn out dry, it might be because they were overcooked. Make sure to check them a few minutes before the baking time is up. You can also add a little extra melted butter to the batter next time for a moister texture.
