List of Ingredients
Base:
1 box Devil's Food cake mix
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 egg
Filling:
1 cup seedless raspberry preserves
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1 (12 oz.) package vanilla milk chips
Drizzle:
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine base ingredients until crumbly. Press mixture into a 15 x 10 x 1-inch pan which has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake 8-12 minutes until it appears dry. Immediately spread warm crust with raspberry preserves. Set aside.
Melt the vanilla milk chips in the microwave; adding a little milk if necessary. Use electric hand mixer to combine melted chips with soft cream cheese until fluffy. Spread over completely cooled and glazed crust.
For Drizzling:
Combine the 2 tbsp. of butter with the semi-sweet chocolate chips and melt in the microwave. Drizzle this mixture over the bars. Cool completely and cut into squares.
*Note: I have also prepared this dessert on a pizza stone and sliced into "Pizza" wedges.
Makes 20 bars.
