Dark Chocolate Raspberry Pie Bars

More About This Recipe

• Fresh, juicy summer berries are delicious – especially in a bar made with pie crust, chocolate, and sugar cookie crumble! These pie bars are easy to make and sinfully delicious. Growing up, my mama always made me a raspberry pie at Christmas. She still does, actually. Mostly because if she doesn’t, I will throw myself on the floor like a two-year-old and have a tantrum. Christmas brings out the baby in me. Anyway, I’m not here to talk about Christmas. I’m here to talk about raspberries! Sweet, tart, juicy red raspberries. I buy them as often as possible and always plan to bake with them. Then I end up standing over the sink, rinsing them one by one, and popping them in my mouth. I don’t rinse them all at once, because I’m in denial that I’m going to actually eat the whole package. Denial, it’s a beautiful thing. But, you guys! Look! I managed to set aside enough of my berries to bake with and holy heck, these rich chocolate bars, studded with juicy berries, are so perfect for summer. The sweet chocolate, the tart berries, the sugar cookie crumble, and the flaky pie crust ... I’m in love. Think my mama will make me this for Christmas instead of the usual pie? Let’s do this.
