There is just something magical about the combination of white chocolate and macadamia nuts! And putting them in a blondie bar = perfection! These white chocolate macadamia nut bars are an easy crowd pleaser.
I love blondie bars so much. They're such a versatile dessert bar and always delicious. One of my favorite mix-in combinations for blondie bars is white chocolate and macadamia nuts. They're a classic combination and one of my husband's favorite, and the combination fits perfectly with the chewy structure of a blondie bar. So whenever I want to combine white chocolate and macadamia nuts, I always make these bars.

Variations
There are so many great ways to add different mix-ins to these blondie bars. You can really do any combination of mix-ins, but limit the total amount of mix ins to 1 and ½ cups. Here are a few other options:
- Dark chocolate and macadamia nuts, hazelnuts or another favorite nut
- White chocolate and cashews, pistachios or another favorite nut
- Any chocolate with dried fruit such as dried cherries, cranberries or apricots
- Macadamia nuts with dried figs
- Pistachios or cashews with dried apricots
Equipment
No special equipment is needed for these bars. You can use a regular mixer, stand up mixer or even just a spatula.
Storage
Store in air tight container at room temperature for up for 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Next level tips
- I love taking blondie bars to the lake or a potluck. They are not messy and you can cut them into as little of pieces as you want.
- You can substitute about ¾ cups of white chocolate chips for the white chocolate bar, but I highly recommend the white chocolate bar. The bars are usually less expensive than a bag of white chocolate chips, and they're usually a higher level of quality.
- If you don't already have one, buy a kitchen scale and weigh the flour. It's actually easier than measuring and flours do have different weights. Usually, a serving of flour is ¼ cup. This recipe calls for 1 and ¼ cups of flour. So take a serving of the flour that you use and multiple by 5. I use Costco's organic all-purpose flour any time that I use all-purpose flour.
