Strawberry Layered Bars (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Layers

01 - 1 cup softened salted butter
02 - 1 cup packed brown sugar
03 - ½ cup white sugar
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 2 teaspoons vanilla
06 - 2 ½ cups plain flour
07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
08 - ½ teaspoon regular salt
09 - 1 cup graham crackers, crushed finely

→ Extras and Toppings

10 - 1 cup white chocolate chips
11 - 1 Milka Maxx Strawberry Cheesecake, chopped into pieces
12 - ½–1 oz powdered freeze-dried strawberries
13 - Optional: melted white chocolate for drizzle

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment or spray it with cooking spray.
02 - Beat the butter with both sugars until it's fluffy. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla until everything’s mixed well.
03 - In a different bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and graham cracker crumbs.
04 - Gently mix the dry mixture with the wet one. Fold in the white chocolate chips and pieces of Milka Maxx.
05 - Press half the dough into the pan, then scatter the powdered strawberries across the top evenly.
06 - Take the rest of the dough and press it gently over the previous layer until it’s evenly spread.
07 - Pop it in the oven for 18–22 minutes, baking until the top's golden brown.
08 - Let the bars cool completely, drizzle them with white chocolate if you'd like, then slice and serve.

# Notes:

01 - If Milka Maxx Strawberry Cheesecake isn't at hand, swap it for extra white chocolate chips and powdered freeze-dried strawberries.
02 - Want to make neat slices? Stick the cooled bars in the fridge for 30 minutes before cutting.
03 - Store them in an airtight box at room temp for 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
