Recipe: Confetti White Chocolate Bars

You guys. These Confetti White Chocolate Bars from my friend Shelly Jaronsky's Cookies & Cups [...]

You guys. These Confetti White Chocolate Bars from my friend Shelly Jaronsky's Cookies & Cups Cookbook are seriously delicious. Let me start out by saying that they're not exactly skinny, per se, but I am a firm believer in everything in moderation. If we all deprived ourselves of sweets, this world wouldn't be nearly as fun (or delicious)! These Confetti White Chocolate Bars are perfect for birthday celebrations or special occasions. I'd suggest making them when you're having company over so you don't "accidentally" eat them all yourself! It's all about balance with sweets, and any workout is worth burning off these delicious treats.

CONFETTI WHITE CHOCOLATE BARS

Yields: 16 bars

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour

  3. Turn the speed to low and add the flour, mixing until just combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips and ½ cup sprinkles until evenly incorporated.
  4. Press the dough into the prepared pan, top with the additional 2 tablespoons of sprinkles, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  5. Allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack.

Store airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days.
