Double White Chocolate Layered Bars

All I can say is YUMMMMMM.   That is pretty much the reaction I received from everybody who tried these delicious morsels.  Double White Chocolate Layered Bars are probably going to be my quintessential potluck dish from now on…  Yes, they are that good. 

I found the recipe in the “Pillsbury Pasta” cookbook, volume #232-June 2000.  Yes, it is the same cookbook that the recipe for Ginger Coconut Shrimp was found in.   The recipe for the chocolate bars is the only dessert recipe in the cookbook.  I can see why!  You don’t need any other dessert recipe.  This is one in a million!  It is a very easy cake/cookie/bar to make.  They combination of flavors go perfect with each other and make an ooey gooey texture.  Ok, I am a sucker for ooey gooey. 

 

You guys have got to try this one!

• I couldn’t find white chocolate chunk cookies at my store, so I substituted white chocolate macadamia nut cookies and it worked fabulously!  Use the pull part cookies and just squish them into the pan. 
• Also, the vanilla chips wouldn’t drizzle for me, so I just spread it on the      bars.  They taste the same!
