I made these Raspberry Dark Chocolate Bars for Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society One of the causes of my Mom's passing was Multiple Myeloma., and my brother is in remission with a rare, chronic type of Leukemia, so this bake sale piqued my interest for sure..Also, my next door neighbor is a survivor of non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
I signed up to bake some goodies, which will be auctioned off Monday, May 2nd. , and then I send the baked goods to the highest bidder for my Raspberry Dark Chocolate Bars. I had made Raspberry bars before, but decided to add the dark chocolate.to the recipe. Oh Yum! They are so good. I chose to make bars, because they ship well. This is the batch that I made for the picture, and I'll be baking another batch to send to the highest bidder, which might be you,! If you are interested in being a baker, you better hurry, or if you want more information, just go to my blog . See you at the Bake Sale.!
Here is my recipe for the Raspberry Dark Chocolate Bars.
RASPBERRY DARK CHOCOLATE BARS
2 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 c. butter
1 lg. egg, beaten
1 tsp. almond extract, or vanilla
3/4 c. raspberry jam
12 oz. chocolate chips, I used Dark Chocolate chips
1 c. almonds, sliced, didn’t use
1 c. sugar
1 c. butter
1 lg. egg, beaten
1 tsp. almond extract, or vanilla
3/4 c. raspberry jam
12 oz. chocolate chips, I used Dark Chocolate chips
1 c. almonds, sliced, didn’t use
Combine flour and sugar. Cut in butter. Stir in beaten egg and extract until just moistened. Save 1 cup dough. Press remaining dough into greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Spread jam over dough. Combine reserved dough and chips. Sprinkle over jam. Press lightly into jam with fork. Bake at 350 degrees 35 to 40 minutes or until top is golden. Let cool in pan. While slightly warm, slice into bars, then let them cool completely in pan. Drizzle glaze on bars, if desired.. Let icing set before serving. Freezes well.
