Blue Ribbon Recipe

The combination of raspberry and chocolate in these cookie bars is divine. There are four layers of textures and flavor. They start with a crumbly shortbread crust, then a creamy cheesecake, next is tart raspberry jam, and finally a silky chocolate layer on top. Feel free to get creative and change the flavor of the jam. Each bite tastes like a fine dessert. They'll be very popular wherever you bring them.
