My hubby loves white chocolate. One of his favorite candy bars is the white chocolate Kit Kat. When we were dating he used to get them all the time. I'm a big fan of white chocolate too. I think most people either love it or hate it. Some people even think it's not
real chocolate. It probably isnt, but who cares. It tastes good!
The other day I was looking for a good treat to make and came across these bars. I knew Kale would love them. They have a yellow cake base, an ooey gooey marshmallow filling with white chocolate chips through out. They're then topped off with a white chocolate frosting! Mmmm They are very rich, but still amazing.Yummo!
White Chocolate Marshmallow Cake BarsRecipe adapted from:
Love, Veggies and YogaCake Layer (1st layer)1/2 cup butter, softened
1 box (18 oz) Yellow Cake mix
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Marshmallow Layer (2nd layer)3/4 cup marshmallow creme
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
White Chocolate Chips (3rd layer)1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips
White Chocolate Vanilla Frosting1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup white chocolate (2 baker squares or white chocolate chips)
2 cups Powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons whole milk, or cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking pan w/ foil and coat well with cooking spray. Set aside.
FOR 1ST LAYER: In a large bowl add cake mix, softened butter, egg and vanilla. Mix well with hands or spoon until well combined. (you may need to use a tablespoon of water to help combine)
Press dough into prepared pan.
FOR 2ND LAYER: Mix all 2nd layer ingredients together in a medium bowl. Mix until combined, then pour over dough.
FOR 3RD LAYER: Sprinkle the white chocolate chips evenly over 2nd layer.
Bake for 20-23 minutes. Center may seem jiggly but will set while it cools. DONT OVERBAKE!
While bars are baking, make frosting. Add butter and white chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments until slightly melted. Stir together until melted. Add powdered sugar, cream and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
Remove bars from oven and let cool 5-10 minutes and then drizzle with frosting. Let bars cool completely before serving. (I refrigerated mine to have them cool faster) Cut into squares and serve!
