Recipe Notes:
- Melting Chocolate – You can either melt the white chocolate in the microwave and stir every 30 seconds until it’s completely melted, or you can melt over low heat on the stove top.
- Doubling – You can easily make thicker bars by doubling the recipe. Or, make the batch stretch farther and double the recipe, but use a 9 x 13 pan instead.
- Storing – Make sure to store the bars in a sealed container so they don’t dry out and become crumbly.
