Then, fold in the remaining white chocolate chips.Collage showing creamed butter and white chocolate chips in the bolw of a stand mixer with a spatula.

Melt 1/3 cup white chocolate in the microwave and add it to an icing bag. Drizzle the bars with the melted white chocolate.

A note on recipes that use candy corn

If you often make desserts using candy corn, you know that working with it can be a bit of a challenge.

If the candy touches the bottom or outside of the pan, it can stick to the sides makes a gooey mess. Also, if it sits too low in the batter, it can harden and be tough to chew.

The trick is to keep it away from the edges of the pan and put it in the upper half of the batter, so that the batter will envelop the candy.
