These chocolate raspberry crumb bar cookies are a gooey and delicious dessert!
These crumb bars are to die for! I first had them at a party and practically stalked the girl who brought them until she gave me a copy of the recipe. I just love the tangy jam with the rich chocolate and the buttery crust. Ahhh… they are so delicious!
And guess what? These bars sold for the second highest amount at the auction! I was pretty tickled. I had packaged them up in celophane with a fancy ribbon and label, and they did look pretty irresistable. And just in case you are curious, the highest bid went for a gigantic grasshopper cake that was filled with hot fudge and topped with crushed up grasshopper cookies. My, oh, my, did I want a slice of that cake!
These bars start with a shortbread-ish crumbly style crust. Then you add a chocolate and sweetened condensed milk layer to crank up the gooey factor. Then more crumbly crust, dobs of raspberry jam and a healthy sprinkle of chocolate chips to top it off in style.
Do you see the drippy goodness going on in this next picture? Gah!
