In case you still have a bunch of different ideas floating around in your head that you just can’t decide on for a Valentine’s Day dessert, here’s one more to add to the mix! This is another quick and easy recipe, and it will please the chocolate and non-chocolate lovers alike. (Read: The person in my house who doesn’t like chocolate loved these.)
These aren’t as quite as quick to bake as the molten lava cake bites from yesterday, but they still only require one bowl and simple ingredients that you probably already have in your house! The rich, buttery crust and streusel topping sandwich a layer of sweet raspberry preserves and creamy white chocolate chips. Which, if you love fruit and streusel, is dessert perfection.
Even though these are made in a 9×9 inch pan, they are rich enough that you can easily cut them into smaller pieces to take to a party or gathering. Or, cut them into big pieces and eat them with your loved ones. 
Raspberry White Chocolate Streusel Bars
Yield: 24 bars
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 C all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 C quick oats
- 1/2 C brown sugar
- 1/3 C sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 C butter, softened
- 3/4 C raspberry preserves
- 1/2 C white chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 375. Spray a 9×9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, sugars, baking powder, and salt. Cut in softened butter with a pastry blender or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press half of the mixture into the bottom of prepared baking dish. Spread preserves over the top. Sprinkle preserves with white chocolate chips. Top with remaining crumb mixture.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until light golden brown. Allow bars to cool completely for easy cutting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.

this sounds delicious! raspberry + chocolate is great but i bet the white chocolate takes it over the top!
raspberries and white chocolate are a killer combination.
I made a peanut butter/rasp/white chocolate bar one time. amazing! I’m a huge sucker for anything white chocolate. I just made cookies with it this past weekend. can’t get enough!
I love chocolate but honestly this sounds like a better Valentine’s Day dessert than chocolate. Anything with streusel I am onboard with!

You had me at streusel <3 We are big white chocolate and respberry people too, so I'm basically licking my computer screen right now
You can never get enough streusel – love it!

I just made bars that are so similar! Except I used regular chocolate : ) I bet the white chocolate is awesome … may need to make them again soon with white instead!
These sound so yummy with all that melted white chocolate hidden inside! Love that it’s such a simple and quick recipe too!
I love crumb topping! I think I am going to try this with 3 different jams (separate sections) in the same pan. Once I cut them into bars, everyone can have the flavor they like best. Thanks for the recipe!

1You know I love a streusel bar! These look great!
That streusel topping looks good enough to eat all on its own! I have never been a huge white chocolate fan, but somehow when it’s combined with raspberry, I love it. Something about the tartness and the sweetness together? These look amazing.
These look like the perfect snack and I know I would love the raspberry/chocolate combo!
Beautiful doesn’t even begin to describe these!
Pinning and can’t wait to try – I love streusel topping!

Hi Jessica!
Just stopping by to let you know that I made a variation of this recipe. I made some blueberry preserves and used them rather than raspberry. Fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Love the idea of using blueberry preserves! Can’t wait to check them out!
