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

How to Store White Chocolate Bars

Tips to Make White Chocolate Bars
- Ensure that your butter is cooled down before mixing it with the eggs to avoid scrambling them.
- Don’t overmix the batter once you add the flour, as this can lead to tougher bars.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of white chocolate chips based on your preference for sweetness.
Variation
You can add nuts like macadamia or almonds for a crunchy texture. You can also mix in dried fruits, such as cranberries or cherries, for a fruity twist.
