Strawberry + white chocolate chips. How can you resist this perfect combination? The white chocolate chips are melted and incorporated into the batter. These bars are so rich with white chocolate. I know 2 cups of white chocolate is alot and it is damn sinful to snack on these bars but it's only once in a while right? Just moderate the amount you eat and all will be good! Well, i would not recommend you to cut down on the amount of white chocolate chips because it will affect the richness of the cake. Well, I regretted reducing the amount of white chocolate chips when i baked these bars. In fact, I will probably add slightly more than the stated amount for a richer cake the next time round. Try opting for better quality white chocolate, i believe they make a difference! I made some changes and cut down the amount of sugar required by the original recipe and the sweetness was just right! These strawberry white chocolate chip bars are such happy bakes that boost my day. Baked these bars just before meeting my army friends for dinner and they were gone by the time i returned home!
