White Chocolate and Macadamia Bars

½ cup + 1 tablespoon (127g) unsalted butter, room temperature, chopped coarsely
180g white chocolate, finely chopped
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups (210g) all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
¾ cup (105g) unsalted roasted macadamias, coarsely chopped*
150g white chocolate, extra, in chips or chunks

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Lightly butter a 20x30cm (8x12in) pan, line it with foil, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides, then butter the foil as well.
Combine butter and chocolate (180g) in a medium saucepan; stir over low heat until smooth. Cool for 10 minutes.
Stir in sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Sift flour, baking powder and salt over batter and mix to combine. Mix in the macadamias and chocolate chips/chunks. Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake for about 30 minutes or until set and golden around the edges. Cool completely in the pan over a wire rack. Cut into bars to serve.

* the macadamias I had at home were salted, so I rinsed them in cold water and dried them in paper towels before using; I also omitted the pinch of salt from the recipe
