    Golden Surprise Bars

    I was preparing a meal plan for a camping trip and needed to come up with a quick dessert that didn't require any work once I was at my destination. These Golden Surprise Bars are super easy to make and were a hit with everyone!

    Cooking time will vary based on your equipment so make sure they don't burn. Play it safe and check them at the 20-minute mark and track from there.

    🥜 Nut Allergies

    This recipe may contain peanuts or other nuts and seeds as one of its ingredients. Please take the appropriate precautions.

    💭 Ingredient Substitution

    If you don't have any white chocolate chips on hand and don't feel like buying some you can simply double the amount of milk chocolate chips. This will be the closest flavor match.

      These bars are easy to make and they turned out perfectly. I made them for a camping trip and put them in a cooler until I got to my destination. They were delicious and I will add this recipe to my recipe list.
