Butter Mochi Is the Hawaiian Treat Your Mainland Kitchen Has Been Missing

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Marist chapter.

Tired of just selling brownies and cookies?  Missing snacks from your home in Hawaii?  Want try a new recipe for dessert?

Attending college at a school on the east coast was a major transition from my comfort haven in Honolulu, Hawaii. While there are absolutely many things I miss from home, I think the food I miss the most is butter mochi.

Butter mochi is similar to a blondie except it has a much more chewy texture, and it’s made with a rice flour called mochiko.

    When its finished baking, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then cut them into squares so that you can serve it to your friends or prepare it for a bake sale!
