Black & White Chocolate Chip Squares

Today’s recipe is a little twist on a family favourite here at our house. These are soft, moist and chewy and just plain yummy. They have been a bake sale favourite for school fundraisers and must-haves at kid birthday parties for years. My mom has been making a version of these squares with coconut in the mix for longer than I can remember. I must have personally eaten thousands of them over the years.

Here, we have omitted the coconut and added white chocolate chips along with dark chocolate chips to the cookie batter. These are very fast and easy to make and the chocolate topping is no fuss at all, it is simply more chocolate chips that are sprinkled on top directly out of the oven and allowed to melt for a few minutes before spreading and swirling the two flavours of chocolate together, covering the entire surface of the batch.
