Raspberry Crumb Bars
I normally only get this around Christmas, so of course I made some for my job’s holiday bake off!
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups all purpose flour
½ cup packed light brown sugar
¼ tsp salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 ¼ cups sweetened condensed milk
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/3 cup raspberry jam
Method
Preheat oven to 350° F
Beat butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add flour, sugar, and salt and beat until well mixed. Mixture will still be slightly crumbly.
Press 1 ¾ cups of the crumb mix into the bottom of a greased 13"x9" pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are just starting to brown
Meanwhile, combine the sweetened condensed milk with 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a small sauce pan. Melt over low heat.
Spread the chocolate mixture over the hot crust. Combine the nuts with the remaining crumb mixture (if using) and sprinkle over the chocolate. Drop teaspoons of the raspberry jam all over. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top. Bake for another 25-30 minutes or until center is set.
Let cool, then cut into squares.
