Number Of Ingredients 10

CRUST
1-1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 c light brown sugar (firmly packed)
1 tsp baking powder
1 c butter or margarine, softened
1-1/2 c quick cooking oats
1/2 c chopped pecans, toasted
FILLING
5 squares semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
12 oz jar rasberry jam

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with foil. Grease foil lining.
  • 2. Mix together flour, brown sugar and baking powder in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives (in crisscross fashion) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add oats, 1/2 cup coconut and pecans; mix well. Press 1/2 the mixture into pan.
  • 3. Sprinkle chocolate over crust. Spread jam over choclate. Press remaining batter over top. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool. Makes 32 bars, 1 bar each.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect texture for your jam bars, chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the bars from spreading too much and will give them a more defined shape.
  • Be sure to use a good quality chocolate for your jam bars. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the bars.
  • If you don't have any chunky chocolate on hand, you can easily make your own by chopping up a chocolate bar into small pieces.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the jam bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the bars.

Conclusion:

Chunky chocolate jam bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and gooey jam filling, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give this recipe a try.
