Lemon White Chocolate Gooey Bars

Teresa Ambra

Lemon White Chocolate Gooey Bars have it all. 🙂 Are you ready for decadence? Are you ready for a rich and gooey lemon bar with some white chocolate chips thrown in? How about one that uses sweetened condensed milk? They’re made with a Lemon Supreme cake mix and have that wonderfully dense texture like true brownies and blondies. They have a little bit of crunch from the white chocolate chips, and they’re gooey galore from all the sugar content! Yes, you will experience a sugar overload, for sure. 😉

I was looking for some new lemon bar recipes last month and stumbled upon this recipe made by lots of different people using the same ingredients. I figured I had to give it a try and I’m so glad I did. The results were fantastic. And If I hadn’t been making these goodies for others, I might have consumed much more than was good for me.

I do have a few recommendations for making this recipe successfully, however. First of all, this recipe really CANNOT be doubled and put in a larger pan. Because more ingredients take longer to cook, the white chocolate chips will dissolve into the bar so that you can no longer see them.

It still tastes divine but the presentation is not as lovely. It also tends to caramelize a little more if you have to cook it longer. Also, make the effort to find REAL white chocolate chips–don’t use premiere white baking chips (vanilla chips). Find REAL white chocolate. Look at the ingredient list. If there’s not cocoa butter in the ingredients they’re NOT white chocolate chips.

We have only two grocery chains in the DFW metroplex that carry white chocolate chips: Kroger and Trader Joes. They each carry their own private brand. All the other stores carry only white (vanilla) chips. This recipe really tastes heavenly with true white chocolate chips. Don’t settle for less!

Lemon White Chocolate Gooey Bars are really sensational, plus they’re easy to make, and only use 7 ingredients. If you’re looking for a divine lemon bar to serve for Mother’s Day or any other holiday, birthday, or special occasion (including holiday baking), these lovely blondies should be on your radar. They are to die for. Really.

Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 9x9" glass baking dish or 8x12" glass baking dish
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 15.25 oz. pkg. Lemon Supreme cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened, (1 stick)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk I used 2% but you can use any kind
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips not premiere white baking chips
  • 1/2 of a 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk (use half can)

Instructions
 

  • Mix cake mix, butter, sugar, egg and 2% milk with a whisk until well combined.
  • Mixture will be very thick.
  • Spray a 9x9” glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Spread about half of the batter into prepared baking dish.
  • Sprinkle evenly with all of the white chocolate chips.
  • Pour condensed milk over top of the white chocolate chips as evenly as possible. (Remember, use only HALF of the can).
  • Spoon remaining dough in dabs over top of the condensed milk and spread very gently with a knife to cover as much of the surface area as possible.
  • (You won’t be able to cover all of the top, but most of it will be well covered).
  • Bake at 350° for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

NOTE: You can also use an electric mixer to mix the batter if you use the lowest possible speed. If using a whisk, be sure to get the lumps out of the cake mix.
 
NOTE: I do not recommend trying to double the recipe and bake in one pan. The white chocolate chips will dissolve into the mixture and you will lose the chunky texture.
