Raspberry Chocolate Bars

These bars are a delightful marriage of sugar cookie, raspberry jam, and chocolate. Of course, I love all of these things, and was sure these would be incredible. However, when my friends, my husband and I first tried them, we weren't completely sold on them. 

But, I hate to throw out baked goods; so I put them in a sealed container, and left them for the next day. Oh how surprised I was when I tried them again the next day. 

Trust me, these bars are 100 times better the next day. My advice is to make them at night before you go to bed, and wait to eat them until the next day.

Many are the plan's in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. ~Proverbs 19:21

Don't let this discourage you. God's plans are ALWAYS better. Sometimes it takes a while for them to unfold, but they are ALWAYS better.
