These buttery bars combine the magical duo of chocolate and raspberry. My husband found this recipe in a farm paper, so I made it. The results were out of this world. —Bev Cudrak, Coaldale, Alberta

Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup seedless raspberry jam
  • 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in egg and extract just until moistened. Set aside 1 cup crumb mixture for topping.
  2. Press the remaining mixture into a greased 11x7-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 5 minutes. Spread with jam and sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake 35-40 minutes longer or until golden brown.
  3. Sprinkle with semisweet chips. Return to the oven for 30 seconds or until chips are glossy. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
