Raspberry Chocolate Chip Bars


Chocolate and raspberry - a match made in heaven in these Raspberry Chocolate Chip Bars.

These bars, or squares if you prefer, have a nice crust which is then layered with raspberry jam and topped with crumble topping made with chopped pecans and brown sugar and sprinkled with chocolate chips.

Perfect as an after-school snack or as an afternoon treat with coffee, these bars are also easy to make for your company potluck or served to your dinner party guests after an enjoyable meal.

We think this recipe would taste great with strawberry jam too!

To bring out the best flavor in these cookie bars, be sure to use a high-quality raspberry jam.
