CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY DREAM BARS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For the crust: In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add flour, brown sugar and salt and beat well. Press 2 cups of the crumb mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish that has been lightly greased. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Meanwhile, combine 1 cup of chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan. Cook over low heat until melted,stirring constantly. Carefully spread the chocolate mixture over the hot crust. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the chocolate. Next, drop the jam by teaspoonfuls over the crumb mixture leaving spaces in-between and swirl with a knife. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips and white chocolate chips over the top. Place on the lowest rack in the oven (to prevent browning) and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set. Cool completely and cut into bars.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries for the best flavor. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them before using.
- Make sure the butter is cold before grating it. This will help to keep the bars from spreading too much in the oven.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
- Bake the bars until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Raspberry Dream Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple shortbread crust, a creamy raspberry filling, and a sweet oat topping. These bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
