Chocolate Raspberry Bars--Raspberry and Chocolate. Enough said






Raspberry and chocolate.  Enough said.  These cookie bars are sooo good.  Start with a cake mix and some raspberry jam.  Mix a little cream cheese (I know) and some vanilla chips.  Just keeps getting better.  Why postpone the inevitable.  Here's the recipe.  (Terry)











CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY BARS
Base:
1 pkg (18 1/4 oz) devil's food cake mix
1 egg
1/3 C softened butter (no substitute)
1 jar (12 oz) seedless raspberry jam
Topping:
1 pkg (10 to 12 oz) vanilla or white chips
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 TB milk
1/2 C semisweet chocolate chips
2 TB butter (no substitute)
Combine cake mix, egg, and butter until crumbly.  Press into a greased 15 x 10 inch baking pan.  NOTE:  I just use my 9 x 13 pan.  Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Crust will appear puffy and dry.  Cool.  Spread jam over the crust.


Beat cream cheese and milk until smooth.
Microwave vanilla chips until melted and stirs smooth.  Combine cream cheese and melted chips.  Carefully spread over jam.
Melt chocolate chips and butter in microwave.  Stir until smooth.  Drizzle or pipe over the cream cheese layer.  NOTE:  I just use a fork and flick (scatter, shake, whatever) it over the cream cheese layer.  (I don't get fancy.  At this point I just want to eat some of it.)  Refrigerate before cutting.
