Ingredients

• 1 (10 ounce) jar lemon curd
• 2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup raspberry preserves
• 0.66666668653488 cup raspberry baking chips

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.

Step 2

Stir melted butter, white sugar, and light brown sugar together. Stir in flour to form a crumbly mixture. Set 3/4 cup of the mixture aside for the topping. Add raspberry baking chips and salt to the remaining mixture.

Step 3

Pour raspberry crumb mixture into the prepared pan, distributing it evenly. Use the back of a spoon to press the crumb mixture down into the pan to form a level crust. Spread lemon curd over the crust and top with the reserved crumbs.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then refrigerate until bars are set, about 1 hour.

Step 5

While the bars are cooling, make the raspberry sauce. Place raspberry preserves in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until easily stirred with a spoon, about 40 seconds. Stir in raspberry liqueur and refrigerate until cool.

Step 6

Cut bars into 9 pieces and drizzle with raspberry sauce.
