Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Raspberry Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Using a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, about 30 seconds.
  3. Press the remaining crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes.
  4. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir continuously until fully melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the baked crust, spreading it out gently with a spatula.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the chocolate layer, creating a delightful texture.
  7. Scatter the remaining chocolate chips over the raspberry jam to bring even more chocolate flavor to your bars.
  8. After baking, remove the pan from the oven and allow the chocolate raspberry bars to cool completely on a wire rack.
