Raspberry Cream Cheese Bars

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 25 min. YIELD: 2-1/2 dozen.
In Madison, Wisconsin, Lisa Corroo makes the most of an effortless oat mixture to form the crunchy crust and crumbly topping for these sweet bars. You can choose any flavor of preserves to suit your family's tastes.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 11 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 jar (18 ounces) red raspberry preserves
  • 1/3 cup chopped slivered almonds

Directions

  • 1. In a bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar. Combine the oats, flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Press three-fourths of the mixture into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 11-13 minutes or until set and edges just begin to brown.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Spread over crust. Drop preserves by spoonfuls over cream cheese mixture; carefully spread evenly. Combine almonds and remaining oat mixture; sprinkle over preserves.
  • 3. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set and edges are golden brown. Cool before cutting. Store in the refrigerator.
