Chocolate chip raspberry bars are a delicious dessert. Bar recipes are always a good choice when you’re short on time. They are less labor intensive than making cookies since no scooping is involved. Bar recipes are perfect for those times when your child comes home and says he/ she needs something the next day. They are also nice for holiday gift trays or tins for friends and neighbors. These chocolate chip raspberry pecan bars will satisfy your sweet tooth.

I took some of these to a meeting at school and came home with an empty plate. My raspberry loving husband also raved about them. I’ve made them a few times in the last couple of months because they were so delicious. If you’re not a fan of raspberry, you can use strawberry instead. Chocolate and strawberry are a delicious combination in this bar as well.

These bars sound delicious! Perfect for sweet cravings!

These bars look soooo good! I love the combination of pecans and chocolate with raspberry!

I love having bars around in the house. Always a great snack for the kids. And love using nuts and fruits in there too. This sounds delicious.

These look delicious! I’ve never tried raspberries and chocolate before and these look perfect for grabbing on the run.

Bar cookies are the best for potlucks and bake sales. I love the flavor combination you tried here- I tend to keep my fruits and chocolates separate, but this is really tempting me!

I agree – bars are so much easier than cookies. Just feels like less work!
Look forward to trying these 🙂

Yummy! I love raspberry and chocolate together.

These sound absolutely delicious, I love the idea of adding raspberry jam!

These cookie bars look delicious. I love you don’t need to scoop these out!

A great combo flavor! I love chocolate chip and pecan cookie!

I love making bars too as they make such a great snack for my children. I’d want to gobble all these up myself though!

I love chocolate bars too! But I rarely make them because I can’t keep away from them! This looks so delish!
