Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams packed light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams fresh raspberries
- 100 grams raspberry jam
- 15 grams powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the semisweet chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the chocolate mixture, stirring until well combined.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet chocolate mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, gently mix the fresh raspberries and raspberry jam together, being careful not to crush the raspberries too much.
Spoon the raspberry mixture evenly over the first layer of chocolate batter.
Pour the remaining chocolate batter over the raspberry layer and gently spread it to cover the raspberries completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake for a fudgy texture).
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once fully cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Dust with powdered sugar (if desired) and cut into 12 equal squares.
Serve and enjoy your Fudgy Chocolate Raspberry Bars!
