Razz•Ma•Tazz Bars

This recipe is one I found in my recipe folder. The kids and I made it this weekend while Joe was away for a hunt. We had fun making them- but I am the only one who ate them. That's never a good thing! The recipe calls for white chocolate chips. I didn't have quite enough so I threw in some dark chocolate chips. Otherwise it would be white.
1/2 C. butter
2 cups Nestlé Toll House Premier White Morsels, divided
2 large eggs
1/2 C. sugar
1 C. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 C. raspberry jam
1/4 C. toasted, sliced almonds

Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 325° F. Grease and sugar 9-inch-square baking pan.

MELT butter in medium, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 1 minute; stir. Add 1 cup morsels; let stand. Do not stir.
BEAT eggs in large mixer bowl until foamy. Add sugar; beat until light lemon colored, about 5 minutes. Stir in morsel-butter mixture. Add flour, salt and almond extract; mix at low speed until combined. Spread 2/3 of batter into prepared pan.

BAKE for 15 to 17 minutes or until light golden brown around edges. Remove from oven to wire rack.

HEAT jam in small, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 30 seconds; stir. Spread jam over warm crust. Stir remaining morsels into remaining batter. Drop spoonfuls of batter over jam. Sprinkle with almonds.


What a helper!
BAKE for 25 to 30 minutes or until edges are browned. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars. Yummy!
