White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Bars

I’ve got a great bar recipe that is sure to please anyone! I think everyone enjoys the white chocolate and macadamia nut combination. It’s almost as great as peanut butter and chocolate.

I made these to send to Jesse for Round 17 of Operation Baking Gals. One of his favorite cookies is a white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies. I wanted to take that flavor combo and make it in a bar format since I was short on time.

I hit the internet and found this recipe. It’s great. I like to sprinkle the mixins on top of the bars because it adds some texture and really makes the flavor of the mixins pop. I think I’ll be doing it from now on for any brownies or bars that have mixins.

Heat oven to 375. Grease rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches. Heat butter and brown sugar in 3-quart saucepan over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted; remove from heat.

    I am sending this to my friend Julie. She is always trying to come up with ways to get her hubby to eat veggies. Genius!

    Yea, I’m glad my hubby eats veggies. I’m sure that if I had used the right chocolate these would have been awesome. They were just okay due to the unsweetened chocolate…

    When I tried these last year I was so disappointed. Yours look much better. I think your “bumping up” helped to create a better product. Well done.
