Makes 3 dozen bars.<\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 13 x 9 baking pan with parchment paper. <\/p>\n

Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until creamy. Add flour, brown sugar and salt and mix on low until a crumbly dough is formed.<\/p>\n

With floured fingers press half of the crumbly dough mixture onto the bottom of the greased baking pan making it as level as possible. Work with small amounts of dough at a time and in sections. Bake for 10\u201312 minutes until the edges are slightly brown.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile combine one cup of semi-sweet morsels and condensed milk in a small, heavy duty sauce pan and melt over low heat stirring until smooth.<\/p>\n

Spread the chocolate mixture over the baked crust.<\/p>\n

Stir the chopped nuts into the reserved crumb mixture, then with your fingers crumble and sprinkle over the chocolate filing and make sure you cover the edges as well.<\/p>\n

Next, drop 1\/2 teaspoons of the raspberry preserves randomly over the dough mixture avoiding going close to the edges. Finish with a sprinkle of the remaining cup of the chocolate chips.<\/p>\n

Bake for 25\u201330 minutes and let completely cool on a wire rack before slicing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":326,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[4],"class_list":["post-323","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-dessert"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=323"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inthekitchenwithvesna.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Frecipe_category&post=323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
