Chocolate Raspberry Layer Bars

These could also be called White Chocolate truffle layer bars.
They do have a truffle like texture. Very decadent delicious dessert.

Base
1 cup flour
1/4 cup icing (powdered) sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine

Mix flour with sugar in a bowl, cut in the butter until mixture is crumbly and there are no visible pieces of butter. Press into a greased 8"x8" baking dish. Bake at 37F for about 15 minutes or until golden brown on edges and bottom.

Filling:
1/3 cup raspberry jam
1 cup white chocolate chips
4 oz (1/2 cup) cream cheese
2 tbsp cream or milk ( I used milk and it was fine)

Spread 1/3 cup raspberry jam over the still warm crust (not hot crust)
Melt white chocolate chips.
Beat cream cheese and milk together and add melted chocolate. Beat until smooth.
Spread over jam layer. Chill until set (about an hour)

Topping:
Melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 3 tbsp of butter and blend well.
Pour over top of the layers and smooth out. Drizzle with additional melted white chocolate if desired.
Chill until set.
Cut into bars.

could you do something with fondant?

[yoyomax12]

@LatteSmocha Never worked with fondant before, I've been trying to stay away from it and find ways to make things without it (I don't like the taste of it at all)

[lvick3]

I always have a hard time melting white chocolate, do I need to add butter to that too?

[yoyomax12]

@lvick3 You could add butter or plain vegetable shortening to thin it out
