How Do You BAKE Cheescake Chocolate Raspberry Bars (A Recipe)?
CHEESE. CHOCOLATE. RASPBERRY. THAT decadent combination says it all. This recipe has a CHOCOLATE Graham Cracker Crust and a 1/2 pint of fresh raspberries marbleized or SWIRLED into the CHEESECAKE. 1.

Bake CRUST in 350 degree oven until slightly dry, yet still moist. About 7 minutes. 3. SWIRL: Set aside 1/2 cup of raspberries.
