Variations
Want to add in some extra's? Here are some variations you can add into your raspberry white chocolate bars:
- Chocolate Chips - you can use regular chocolate chips if you are not a white chocolate fan.
- Almonds- add in some sliced almonds into the batter for some crunch.
Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how the recipe turns out. I recommend using the following:
- Stand/Hand mixer
- Mixing bowls
- Spatula
- Parchment paper
- Metal 8X8 baking pan
- Clips
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Once smooth add in eggs and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Scrape down the bowl.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Spoon in the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix until smooth.
- Step 3: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and raspberries.
- Step 4: Line and 8X8 metal baking pan with parchment paper. Pour batter into baking pan. Spread out evenly. Place on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. Or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bars comes out clean. Allow bars to cool in pan for 1hour before slicing.
Hint: Raspberry's are delicate, be careful when you are adding them to the batter. If you over mix them into the batter, they will bleed and break apart.
Storage
Store these bars in an air-tight container on the countertop for 4-5 days.
You can freeze these bars by allowing them to cool to room temperature, placing them in a ziplock bag, letting out the air, and sealing them tightly. Place them in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Top Tip
Make sure to line your metal baking pan with parchment paper. I like to use clips to hold the paper in place while I am spreading it out evenly.
FAQ
Yes! If you do not have any fresh raspberries on hand, frozen raspberries will work just as well. There is no need to thaw them out, just mix them in the batter.
