Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams raspberry preserves
- 100 grams fresh raspberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift the bars out later.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring until smooth and fully incorporated.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, and gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the chocolate batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Drop small dollops of raspberry preserves evenly across the surface of the batter. Use a toothpick or a skewer to swirl the preserves gently into the chocolate batter, creating a marbled effect.
Scatter the fresh raspberries over the top of the batter, pressing them in lightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Do not overbake, as the bars should remain fudgy.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out, and slice into 12 squares or rectangles.
Serve the fudgy raspberry swirl bars at room temperature and enjoy!
