White Chocolate Macademia Nut Bars

These are a version of the turtle brownies that we served for Samantha's wedding. I decided I would combine the absolutely fabulous white chocolate macademia nut cookie recipe with my awesome and terrific turtle brownies. It turned out really good. The creamy vanilla mixed wonderfully with the sticky caramel and they were totally awesome.

Here is the recipe


Here is what they look like while they're being made.



Some helpful tips:
* I find that melting the caramel in the plastic frosting bag makes it much easier to drizzle neatly as well as not getting sticky, hard to clean off caramel off of spoons and cups.
* Use good caramel. I get mine from a baking supply store near me. I am sure you could use those little plastic wrapped square thingies, and it would probably be just fine, but I think the texture would not be as smooth as the caramel that is made just for this purpose.
* What makes the cookies and bars taste so remarkable is the use of really good vanilla. It's an investment that's well worth it.

  1. Hi,

    I using Google Translate

    With images,
    the recipe is untranslatable

    I do not understand the English language
    I do not read well, and exactly the information.

    But I think that is very nice the idea of the recipe card to print and save!
