Cherry Chip Cookie Bars

Thank you Pinterest bakers for your inspiration this Valentines Day! After spending a long weekend pouring over endless photos of dessert recipes, layering brownies and cookies in so many inventive ways, I couldn’t help but try a new combination of my own. This recipe gleans from two separate recipes I found this week, one being the best-ever recipe for Cherry Chip cake mix cookies and another ingenious use for cake mix to make white chocolate fudge using cake mix. The original fudge recipe used birthday cake flavoring, so I adapted it just a bit by using the Cherry Chip flavor.

The fudge was solid enough on its own that I cut a few extra heart pieces to have on its own. And they turned out really cute and pink for Valentines. I can’t wait to share these with the family tonight!
