Pour chocolate into a rimmed baking sheet or pan (I used a 4 oz. and placed it in a small glass container).
4-16 oz good quality white chocolate
Place in oven and stir every 5-10 minutes until it has a golden brown hue, about 40 minutes.
Remove from oven and place in a bowl.
The chocolate should be lumpy/grainy/gross looking, but once you stir it, it should become smooth.
Set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix together butter and sugar until combined well.

Drizzle/spoon the melted caramelized white chocolate on the top of the batter and swirl.
