White Chocolate Chip Bars

I am so glad these are yummy, because it was quite an ordeal to make them.

This story is for those of you who think it was an effortless baking session.

 

So I melted the butter.  Check.

Wait, it said unsalted.

Oops.

Then I went to get the light brown sugar.

There was only dark.

I freaked out a little.

But I made an adjustment and proceeded.

 

Then vanilla extract.

There’s no more.  Well, a drop or so.

Seriously, could I really be having a vanilla extract emergency??  Yes.

So I freaked out some more.

Once I got myself back together, I did some modifications and hoped for the best…

 

They were crunchy on the outside and oh so soft in the middle.

And oh so good.  

Disaster averted and a new bar created.

Nice.  🙂
