CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY LAYER BARS



Chocolate Raspberry Layer Bars image

With the Christmas holidays drawing near, I thought these would be a great addition to cookie & sweet trays! They are quite an attractive looking bar and they look nice cut into triangles. You can even substitute your favourite jam, such as apricot, peach & strawberry, but I think the raspberry (or the strawberry), red in colour for Christmas would be nicest! Found this recipe in a booklet of baking recipes that I picked up at the grocery store put out by Robin Hood flour. Add 1 1/2 hrs. to the cook time listed for chilling. These are supposed to freeze well for those of you who want to get a head start on your holiday baking! Hope you enjoy!
