Chocolate Raspberry Bars

Raspberry makes the perfect compliment to the chocolate brownies in this recipe. These sweet treats are perfect for parties, picnics, PTA meetings and more.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

1 package of brownie mix
eggs & butter (the amount depends on what your brownie mix calls for)
1 (12 ounce) jar seedless raspberry jam For the topping:
1 (10 ounce) package vanilla or white chocolate chips
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter

Step 1

Make and bake brownies according to box instructions.
Step 2

When the brownies are done, spread the WHOLE JAR of jam over brownies. (The more jam that you use, the more gooey the dessert will turn out!)
Step 3

Melt the vanilla chips in the microwave, then stir until smooth.
Step 4

Mix cream cheese and milk until smooth, then add the melted vanilla chips. Spread this mixture over the raspberry jam.
Step 5

Melt chocolate chips and butter in the microwave, then stir the mixture until smooth. Drizzle or pipe over the cream cheese layer.
Step 6

Now the chocolate raspberry bars are ready to eat!

If you like soft or gooey brownies, then you may want to enjoy these right away! This is a messy way to eat them, and you will probably need a bowl and spoon, but they taste SO rich and good! It's great if you like to eat cookies/brownies right out of the oven and goes great with vanilla ice cream too.
Step 7

However, if you want to take these bars to a party or other gathering, you will want to refrigerate these immediately. They need to be refrigerated for at least 4-5 hours to get nice and hard so that people will be able to eat them as a finger food. Once they have been refrigerated, the top layer will be hard like a candy bar.
