Original Recipe Yield 16 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
  • 1 (10 ounce) package vanilla or white chips, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam or preserves, warmed
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat and add 1 cup chips. Let stand, without stirring, to soften chips. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Add sugar; beat until thickened and lemon colored. Beat in chip mixture and extract. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.
  2. Spread half of the batter into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 17-20 minutes or until golden brown. Spread raspberry jam over warm crust. Stir remaining vanilla chips into the remaining batter. Spoon over raspberry layer. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake for 20-23 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack before cutting.
