RASPBERRY-FILLED WHITE CHOCOLATE BARS
My friend Jen (www.jenscakes.com) and I made desserts for over 200 for a Christmas party. This was an exceptionally big hit. We used the large baking chips and raspberry filling available from cake supply. The large chips worked especially well because they had a better tendency to stay intact (rather than melt and disappear into bar). Double or quadruple recipe and bake in larger pan for bigger batch. We used jelly roll pans with 1" sides. Highly recommended! Adapted from a Pillsbury Bake-Off recipe.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325°F.
- Grease and flour 9-inch square pan. Cover bottom with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat.
- Add 1 cup of the white chocolate chips. Let stand--do not stir (you don't want chips to melt completely).
- In large bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at high speed until lemon-colored.
- Stir in white chocolate chip mixture.
- Add flour, salt and almond extract; mix at low speed until just combined.
- Spread half (about 1 cup) of batter in greased and floured pan.
- Bake at 325° for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
- Stir remaining 1 cup white chocolate chips into remaining half of batter; set aside.
- Melt spreadable fruit in small saucepan over low heat. Spread evenly over warm, partially baked crust. (It is important to warm fruit so it is thin enough to spread easily into thin, even layer).
- Gently spoon teaspoonfuls of remaining batter over fruit spread. Be careful--if you try to spread batter around too much you will stir up the fruit layer. (It is ok for some fruit to show through batter).
- Sprinkle with almonds.
- Return to oven and bake an additional 25 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool completely. Carefully invert pan on cutting board. Remove parchment paper and trim off all edges with serrated knife.
- Cut into 1 x 2-inch rectangles.
- If desired, you can make them extra special by dipping in additional melted white chocolate chips.
- Pick up each bar with a toothpick inserted at a slight angle on top. (When toothpick is removed, hole is barely noticeable). Dip into white chocolate just until raspberry layer (halfway up) is covered with chocolate.
- Set on waxed paper to cool.

Tips:
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them cream together smoothly.
- Use a high-quality chocolate for the filling. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the bars.
- Don't overbake the bars. They should be set but still slightly soft in the center.
- Chill the bars for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them firm up and make them easier to cut.
Conclusion:
These chocolate raspberry bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special holiday party. With their rich chocolate flavor, tangy raspberry filling, and creamy white chocolate topping, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
