tropical white chocolate bars
I was experimenting in the kitchen and threw these lovely little bars together. I like them without the frosting but my sons really liked the Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting addition. Next time I make these (and there will be a next time) I think I will try a different flavor pudding mix...maybe banana or coconut just to see how that changes them. ***These taste even better on the 2nd day!!

How To Make tropical white chocolate bars
-
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 13x9 baking dish with nonstick spray.
-
2In a bowl, combine flours and baking soda. Add in ground flax if using. Set aside.
-
3In a separate bowl, combine butter, sugars, pudding mix and vanilla; beat until creamy. Beat in eggs. Gradually add in flour mixture--batter will be stiff! Stir in nuts, chips and coconut. Spread into prepared dish.
-
4Bake for about 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
