May as well keep the coconut recipes coming while in the Caribbean.
And I always like white chocolate, but I had mentioned that when I’m in Aruba, there’s something about it that I’m especially drawn to, even more so than usual. For all the white chocolate fans, consider these part three (part one and part two) of my installment plan of white chocolate recipes on this trip, and I’m not done yet.
I tweaked my go-to blondie recipe for these, but it’s still as simple as ever. The beauty of it is that you melt a stick of butter in a big bowl in the microwave, add a cup of brown sugar, an egg, vanilla, and stir. Add flour, coconut flakes, white chocolate chips, and your batter is made in about 4 minutes and these are ready to bake. Because only brown sugar and no granulated sugar is used, not only are they incredibly moist and soft, but the blondies take on caramel tones.
What could be better than caramely, one-bowl cookie bars, full of white chocolate, coconut, and drizzled with semi-sweet chocolate? Oh yes. Chocolate that doesn’t start to sweat the minute they’re taken out of the refrigerator would be nice. Caribbean heat knows no boundaries but a little sweat never bothered me.
Although Scott likes them, they are totally my kind of food and being that the pan only makes 9 bars, the less I had to share, the better. He’s so into something that I made that I made, twice, because he loved it so much. Recipe forthcoming this week.
Not me. I’m almost tempted to make these twice. And I did but I tweaked it. Recipe forthcoming next week.
