Raspberry chocolate bars

I adapted this recipe from Deliciously Sprinkled.
This is pretty much the best thing I've ever tasted, and it made my house smell so so good.
INGREDENTS
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk (I used nonfat)
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 Tsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup quick cook oats
  • 2-3 Tbsp chia seeds (if you want it to be kinda healthy

Preheat oven to 350. In a small bowl mash half of the raspberries with sugar and set aside.  In large bowl combine butter, flour and brown sugar until crumbly.  Set aside 2/3 of mixture.  Add in the oats & chia seeds to remaining mixture and refrigerate until needed.  Line a 9x13 baking sheet with cooking spray and parchment paper.  Press the 2/3 crumble into the pan to form the crust.  Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on your altitude (I had to bake for 15 minutes to get mine golden brown).  While the crust is baking add the condensed milk and dark chocolate chips to a sauce pan over low heat.  Stir until melted.  Pull golden brown crust from the oven and pour melted chocolate over crust.  Using a rubber spatula or offset spatula evenly spread melted chocolate all over crust.  Take remaining crumble and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the chocolate.  Next add the mashed berries evenly on top of crumble.  Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. Finally top with whole raspberries.  Place pan in the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes until the crumble is golden brown.  Allow to cool for about 3 minutes before cutting into bars.


You can leave the oats and chia seeds out of the recipe as I did above, but I think the oats give it a nice summery light flavor.  I feel like this needs to be served piping hot with vanilla ice cream melted over the top.
