Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

20 chocolate wafer cookies, finely crushed
1 cup Fisher Chef's Naturals Pecan Chips, chopped
3 tablespoons butter, melted
8 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
1 lb cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup raspberry preserves
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 350°F.
In a bowl, combine the ground cookies and ½ cup of the pecans and melted butter. Using a spoon, mix well.
Press the mixture into an 8" square pan sprayed lightly with vegetable spray, then press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan.
Fill a pot with 1-2 cups of water and bring to a simmer. Place white chocolate chips in a double boiler or a microwave safe bowl (the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl). Stir the chocolate constantly while the chocolate melts and remove from stove once completely melted.
Using a whisk beat in the cream cheese and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and 2/3 cup granulated sugar, mixing well until very smooth.
Pour mixture over the cookie crust, tap the pan gently to smooth out and bake for 25-30 minutes until firm. Cool for 15 minutes.
Heat the preserves gently in a bowl over hot water just until melted. Spoon over the slightly cooled cheesecake. Cool completely and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
In a saucepan, heat the remaining ¼ cup of sugar and add the remaining ½ cup of pecans. Stir over medium heat until pecans are lightly coated. Let cook a few minutes, cut into bars and sprinkle with the candied pecans and serve.

RASPBERRY PECAN BARS

Raspberry Pecan Bars image

A lovely raspberry-fruity bar made all the better with the addition of roasted pecans. When I buy a bag of pecans I roast them in the oven and store them in freezer so they are ready to use for any recipe!

Yield 24 bars, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks, softened)
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups pecans, roasted and finely chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup seedless raspberry preserves

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray 9 by 13 baking pan with cooking spray.
Roast the pecans by spreading on a jelly roll pan and roasting in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes (after 10 minutes check every 2 minutes so they don't burn!).

Reserve one cup of dough for topping.
Add lightly beaten egg to remaining dough and mix well.
Spread this dough along bottom of prepared pan.
In microwave, warm the preserves to make them easier to spread.

Let cool before cutting.

Tips:

- To ensure even baking, allow the butter and eggs to reach room temperature before mixing. This will help them blend together smoothly. - For a gooey center, do not over-bake the bars. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached. - Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor. If fresh raspberries are unavailable, you can substitute frozen raspberries that have been thawed and drained. - If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the pecans in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin. - Feel free to get creative with the toppings. You can sprinkle the bars with powdered sugar, drizzle them with melted chocolate, or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

These raspberry pecan bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and tart raspberry filling and crunchy pecan topping, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
