Last week I totally caved and made gooey bars again. It had been several weeks since I made up the Key Lime Gooey Bars for the blogger party over at Dorothy’s and the kids were ready for some more. I seriously enjoyed the lime flavor but when I checked my pantry, I was all out of lime cake mix.
Total bummer cause these babies were goooood.
What I did have though was strawberry cake mix and these scrumptious Strawberry Lime White Chocolate Gooey Bars were born.
It must have been destiny.
I often forget about how much I love strawberry until I’m forced to have it. Then, of course, I realize how much I absolutely adore it! It’s like when I’m ordering a shake. I always, always get chocolate unless I get strawberry and then when I taste it I’m like ohmygosh, this is so much better than chocolate!
That’s pretty much how it was with these strawberry gooey bars.
I totally brightened up the flavor with with fresh lime juice and zest and added some yummy white chocolate chips into the mix for fun. I love how pretty and pink they are and just so fabulously ooey-gooey. Perfection!
