How to Make Chocolate Chip Raspberry Bars Toh

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 11x7 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ¾ cup granulated sugar.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Beat 1 large egg with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir into the crumb mixture just until moistened. Set aside 1 cup of the crumb mixture for topping.
  5. Press the remaining crumb mixture into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and spread evenly with 1 cup raspberry jam.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the jam.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes more, or until the crust is golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle evenly with ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  10. Return to the oven for about 30 seconds, or until the chips are glossy.
  11. Let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
