Start with 1 whole bag, keep the other half a bag in reserve.

If you want to do this step by microwave, all I can say is, good luck, microwave every 30 seconds and stir, repeat until melted.
-
11
Don't overdo it or the white chocolate becomes grainy.
-
12
Take out the brownies, let cool a couple minutes and carefully, gently spread the white chocolate over the top (don't be too rough, you'll pull up patches of brownie).
-
13
While still warm, Place the hugs in a 4 x 6 grid (or do 4 x 3 if you want really big brownies), going the way of the long rows.
-
14
As each row is finished, go back and, while GENTLY pressing on the hug, twist it.

It will melt into a spiral shape.

Leave a little peak at the top.
-
17
Allow to cool.

When the white chocolate has set a little, but not until it has completely cooled, cut the brownies with a sharp knife.
