Easy Chocolate Raspberry Magic Bars

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, do you celebrate? I have never really been all that into it. I mean, when I was a kid it was great because it meant we would have a class party at school and eat lots of candy. Now? I just don’t care. I love when my husband brings me flowers and chocolates or a gift, but it doesn’t seem to mean as much if he’s doing it because he’s supposed to. Right?? I much prefer spontaneous displays of love! This doesn’t mean i’m anti – Valentine’s Day though.

INCREDIBLE Chocolate Raspberry Magic Bars

I like to do fun little things for my kids, because they really love it and it makes them feel special. I usually make a fun heart shaped breakfast and have a heart shaped balloon and box of chocolates waiting for them at their seat at the table first thing in the morning. We also like making treats like these Chocolate Lover’s Cookie Sticks or Valentine Fudge. These are both easy enough for my little ones to help me make, and of course, they are covered in sprinkles, which is always a hit!

Amazing Raspberry Magic Bars

While these Chocolate Raspberry Magic Bars aren’t overtly Valentine’s Day themed, I think they still fit the bill. I love all the layers, textures, and flavors in these bars. It’s like a party in your mouth! The crust is slightly chewy and it’s topped with crunchy almonds, smooth chocolate chips, shredded coconut, creamy condensed milk and raspberry jam.  The pop of red is so pretty in these bars and it makes them look nice and festive too.  One of my 4 year old twins made these with me. He loves when he can make something almost all by himself – he feels so proud. I hope you enjoy these bars as much as we d0!

These Chocolate Raspberry Magic Bars are a little slice of heaven! They are really easy to make, and the variety of flavors and textures is irresistible!

    Would the flavors work using a lemon cake mix? I was thinking of switching chocolate chips for white chocolate…

    If the recipe was made without coconut what could you replace it with? Would you double nuts or chips, or simply leave out coconut, just not sure about the ratio.

      Hi Charlotte! I would add an extra 1/2 cup of chips and nuts to replace the coconut. Or add 1 cup of any other topping you like! Enjoy!

    Can you use sugar free jam to cut some of the sweetness?

    Hi, I’m in the UK and we don’t have such a thing as “yellow cake mix” here. Is this just a vanilla sponge mix?

      Yes, sounds like the same thing. Alternately, you could make a shortbread crust and it would be just as good!

    Would love to make this, but when do you add the jam and how long do you bake it?

        These look amazing!!! Can’t wait to try them but do you use sweetened or unsweetened coconut?

          I use sweetened because I always have some on hand, but the recipe is certainly sweet enough to use unsweetened coconut. Hope you enjoy them, Yvonne!

    My mom is all about Chocolate Raspberry together! I may just need to make these for her for Valentines Day! I prefer prefer spontaneous displays of love too. My husband isn’t really a gift giver so I don’t want to extra force him on Valentines just because it’s the 14th of the month haha.
