Cherry Chocolate Chip Bars
I have the BEST. BAR. RECIPE. for all of you today!
Seriously, these Cherry Chocolate Chip Bars are loaded with milk chocolate chips, chopped maraschino cherries and drizzled with white chocolate. They taste like my favorite ice cream flavor, Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia but in a bar form. And thanks to my new Kenwood Chef Kitchen Machine these bars were super easy to make.
I can’t wait to bring these to the holiday party we are going to tomorrow, I know everyone is going to LOVE them! ♥
JUST A FEW BAKING TIPS:
✓ LINE YOUR BAKING PAN: To make it super easy for you to cut these bars into squares, line your 13×9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving enough overhang on the sides and spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray. Once the bars have cooled lift the bars out of the pan, folding down the aluminum foil sides. Use a sharp knife to cut these bars into squares and enjoy!
✓ CHOCOLATE CHIPS: I used milk chocolate chips, but you could use dark chocolate chips or semisweet chocolate chips.
