17

THIRD LAYER: Combine 4 oz white chocolate with 1 tablespoon butter in double boiler and melt (or melt 1 -1 1/2 minutes in microwave on High and stir ).

18

Spread over chilled second layer with spatula or blunt knife (layer will be quite thin).

19

OPTIONAL MARBLED EFFECT: Melt 2 oz semisweet chocolate in double boiler (or in microwave 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on High and stir).

27

MAKES: approx 32 bars (they are very sweet, therefore the bars should be quite small)
