Delicious layered bars combining raspberry jam, almonds, and chocolate chips for a sweet treat.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter
  • 12 oz Nestle Tollhouse vanilla chips (divided use)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 cup raspberry jam (seedless or preserves)
  • 0.25 cup sliced almonds

Instructions 

  • Melt butter in a saucepan, cool for 5-7 minutes, then add 1 cup chips without stirring.
  • Beat eggs with sugar and almond extract, then add the chip mixture. Mix in flour and salt just until combined.
  • Spread half of the batter into a greased 9-inch square pan, bake at 325°F (160°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden.
  • Spread jam over the crust, leaving 1/8 inch edge, then stir remaining chips into remaining batter and drop over jam. Sprinkle with almonds.
  • Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until set and golden. Cool on wire rack, then cut into bars.
