Time 2h10m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 9

24 thin chocolate wafer cookies, crushed (1 1/2 cups crumbs)
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/3 cup seedless red raspberry jam
20 fresh raspberries

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Line 8-inch square pan with foil, leaving 1 inch of foil overhanging at 2 opposite sides of pan; spray foil with cooking spray.
  • In medium bowl, mix cookie crumbs and butter. Press into pan. Bake 12 minutes. Cool 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until blended. Beat in flour and almond extract. Pour over cooled crust. Drop jam by teaspoonfuls over batter; swirl jam through batter with knife for marbled design.
  • Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until set. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 hour. Use foil to lift out of pan. Cut into 5 rows by 4 rows; top each bar with 1 raspberry. Store in refrigerator.
