Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups raspberry preserves
• 1 cups white chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups sliced almonds
• 0.75 cups sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy lifting later.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and kosher salt.

Step 3

Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. The mixture should resemble slightly damp crumbly sand.

Step 4

Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan to form an even base. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to smooth it out.

Step 5

Bake the crust for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the partially baked crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the white chocolate chips and sliced almonds evenly over the raspberry layer.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Drizzle this mixture over the top, covering as much surface area as possible.

Step 9

Bake in the oven for an additional 20–22 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center looks set.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan, about 1–2 hours. You can speed this up by placing the pan in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 11

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares or rectangles.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
