Ingredients

2/3 cup raspberry jam
1 (21-ounce) box brownie mix (recommended: Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge)
3 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup chopped salted almonds

Directions

Position a baking rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.

In a small saucepan, stir the jam constantly over low heat until pourable, about 1 minute. Set aside.

In a large bowl, blend together the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Using an electric hand mixer beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the jam over the top of the brownie batter. Using a small spatula, swirl jam into the brownie batter. Bake for 27 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted about 1-inch from the edge of the pan comes out clean. Spread with the melted chocolate and sprinkle with salted almonds. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool.

Cut into 16 bars and store airtight in a plastic container for up to 1 week.

Strange Outcome But Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love anything that has to do with brownies, so I was immediately attracted to this recipe. I like that she adds raspberry... jam, making the brownie tangy almost and more moist. The only thing is, after the brownies cooked in the oven, I found that a lot of the jam migrated to the center of the pan. That of course made the outer part not tangy enough and the inner part too tangy. But all in all it was good. I also let it cool for a long time so when I poured the white chocolate, it melted quickly and I cut the brownie into pieces before the white chocolate could get too crusty and break apart easily. I recommend making this at least once!Read more

A Hit
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I saw the episode and read reviews...who could go wrong. They we're a hit with all the guests but my I agree they we're... better the next day. And, based on reviews I added more white chocolate...I wouldn't do that again. It took away from richness. The "salted" nuts are a must. I would make it again cause it was so easyRead more

Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these the other day and my husband almost ate the whole pan. They were so good and I could definitely see making other... versions such as the orange marmalade or even cherry jam. I am making them for a picnic with friends later this week! Read more

Definitely recommend these brownies for the chocoholic in your family!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made these and I LOVE them! The white chocolate on top of them is awesome! I love the combo of raspberry and... chocolate. I love orange and chocolate, so next time I make these I'm going to try orange marmalade instead. Also, I used chopped walnuts instead of almonds. Another great recipe from Giada! Read more
