Ingredients

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ devil's food cake mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 tablespoons milk
1 egg
1 cup raspberry pie filling (from 21-oz can)
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 tablespoon Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons shortening
48 fresh raspberries

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). In large bowl, mix cake mix, butter, milk and 1 egg with spoon until dry ingredients are moistened. Spread in bottom of ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan. Spread raspberry pie filling over crust.
In large bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating after each until mixed. On low speed, beat in flour. Pour over pie filling.
Bake 30 to 38 minutes or until cheesecake filling is set. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
In microwavable food-storage plastic bag, place chocolate chips and shortening; seal bag. Microwave on High 15 seconds; squeeze bag. Microwave about 15 seconds longer or until melted; squeeze bag until chocolate is smooth. Cut off tiny corner of bag; squeeze bag to drizzle chocolate over bars. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows. Refrigerate 30 minutes before serving. Top each bar with 1 fresh raspberry just before serving. Store covered in refrigerator.
