4) Let cool completely on a wire rack to room temp, about 2 hours, before removing the bars from the pan using the foil & cutting into squares.

( These brownies are very buttery & rich tasting. They come out soft & gooey, which i love. You can omit the white chocolate if your not a fan & use more chocolate chips. Also a variation of this recipie is Congo Bars which you would add 1 1/2 cups of toasted coconut with the chips & nuts. This I have heard is amazing too. Enjoy)
