White Chocolate Revel Bars



These delicious bars are a little bit magical.  They disappeared so fast, I was a kind of shocked.  I didn't even eat them all!  They are chewy and gooey and pretty much irresistible.  They taste like gooey white chocolate and buttery macadamia nuts.  Definitely a repeater recipe!


White Chocolate Revel Bars


1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, divided
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1/2 cup quick oats
1 cup shredded coconut
7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 cup white chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup macadamia nuts, chopped


Preheat oven to 350F.  Line a 9x9 inch square baking pan with tin foil, then grease the foil.


In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.  In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer) cream together 7 tablespoons butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add the egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.  Beat until combined.  Add the flour mixture, oatmeal, and coconut, and blend together until completely incorporated.  


In a microwavable bowl, combine the white chocolate, condensed milk, and remaining 1 tablespoon butter.  Microwave the mixture at 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted and smooth.  Stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.


Press about 1 1/2 cups of the dough mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.  Pour the white chocolate mixture over the dough layer and spread evenly.  Stir the macadamia nuts into the remaining dough mixture, then drop small bits of dough evenly over the white chocolate layer.  


Bake for about 25 minutes or until the top is a light golden brown.  Cool bars completely before removing from pan and slicing.  Makes 16 bars.


Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
