- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (12-ounce package) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels, divided
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 13 x 9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Beat butter in large mixing bowl with a paddle attachment until creamy. Beat in flour, sugar and salt until mixture combines into a ball. With floured fingers, press 1 3/4 cups crumb mixture onto bottom of prepared baking pan; reserve remaining mixture.
- Bake crust for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
- Microwave 1 cup chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl on high (100%) power for 1 minute. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until chocolate chips are melted. Spread over hot crust.
- Sprinkle reserved crumb over the chocolate filling evenly. Drop teaspoonfuls of raspberry jam over crumb mixture. Sprinkle with remaining morsels.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until center is set. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
