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!

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • For a richer flavor, use unsweetened coconut milk instead of water in the crust.
  • Be careful not to overbake the crust. It should be golden brown and firm to the touch.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Raspberry coconut layer bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet raspberries, creamy coconut, and buttery crust is sure to please everyone. These bars are also a great way to use up any leftover raspberries you may have.
