Ingredients
Scale
For the base:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the raspberry filling:
- 1 1/2 cups raspberry jam or preserves
- 1/4 cup fresh raspberries (optional)
For the topping:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or white chocolate, melted
- Optional: Heart-shaped sprinkles or red/pink sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Base:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a lined 8×8-inch square baking pan. Refrigerate the base while you prepare the raspberry filling. - Make the Raspberry Filling:
Spread the raspberry jam or preserves evenly over the chilled graham cracker base. Optionally, you can mash fresh raspberries into the jam or sprinkle them over the jam layer for extra texture. Smooth the mixture with a spatula to ensure an even layer. - Prepare the Topping:
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the raspberry layer, covering it as evenly as possible. - Chill and Set:
Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and firm. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once the bars have set, cut them into squares or rectangles and serve chilled. Optional: Garnish with heart-shaped sprinkles or colored sugar for a festive look!
Notes
- You can swap out raspberry jam for strawberry or blueberry preserves if you prefer a different flavor.
- For extra texture, try adding a layer of fresh berries between the raspberry filling and white chocolate topping.
- These bars can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
