Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

20 chocolate wafer cookies, finely crushed
1 cup Fisher Chef's Naturals Pecan Chips, chopped
3 tablespoons butter, melted
8 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
1 lb cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup raspberry preserves
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 350°F.
In a bowl, combine the ground cookies and ½ cup of the pecans and melted butter. Using a spoon, mix well.
Press the mixture into an 8" square pan sprayed lightly with vegetable spray, then press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan.
Fill a pot with 1-2 cups of water and bring to a simmer. Place white chocolate chips in a double boiler or a microwave safe bowl (the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl). Stir the chocolate constantly while the chocolate melts and remove from stove once completely melted.
Using a whisk beat in the cream cheese and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and 2/3 cup granulated sugar, mixing well until very smooth.
Pour mixture over the cookie crust, tap the pan gently to smooth out and bake for 25-30 minutes until firm. Cool for 15 minutes.
Heat the preserves gently in a bowl over hot water just until melted. Spoon over the slightly cooled cheesecake. Cool completely and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
In a saucepan, heat the remaining ¼ cup of sugar and add the remaining ½ cup of pecans. Stir over medium heat until pecans are lightly coated. Let cook a few minutes, cut into bars and sprinkle with the candied pecans and serve.

Raspberry Pecan Bars image

A lovely raspberry-fruity bar made all the better with the addition of roasted pecans. When I buy a bag of pecans I roast them in the oven and store them in freezer so they are ready to use for any recipe!

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
If you don't have pecan halves on hand, you can use chopped walnuts or almonds instead.
To make the bars even more decadent, drizzle them with melted chocolate or caramel sauce before serving.
For a gluten-free version of these bars, use gluten-free flour and oats. You can also use almond flour or coconut flour instead of all-purpose flour.
To make the bars vegan, use vegan butter and milk instead of regular butter and milk. You can also use flax eggs instead of regular eggs.

Conclusion:

Raspberry Pecan Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with a simple shortbread crust, a layer of raspberry jam, and a pecan streusel topping. These bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
