List of Ingredients



• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  
• 1 package (10 to 12 ounces) vanilla or white chips, divided
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 1/2 cup sugar
  
• 1 tsp almond extract
  
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
  
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  






Instructions



1. In a saucepan, melt butter. Remove from the heat; add 1 cup chips (do not stir). In a small mixing bowl, beat eggs until foamy; gradually add sugar. Stir in chip mixture and almond extract.
   
   
2. Combine flour and salt; add to egg mixture just until combined. Spread half of the batter into a greased 9-inch square baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
   
   
3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt jam; spread over warm crust. Stir remaining chips into the remaining batter; drop by tablespoonfuls over the jam layer. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake 30 to 35 minutes longer or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
   
   Makes 2 dozen.
