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.
