2 cups white chocolate chips
2 large eggs
½ cup sugar

½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon almond extract
½ cup raspberry jam - I use Knotts Berry Farm Jam
¼ cup sliced almonds (optional)



Preheat oven to 325
Melt butter in microwave for 1 minute. Add 1 cup chips to melted butter. Let it sit.
Beat eggs until foamy. Add sugar beat until the egg mixture has a light lemon color, a few minutes.
Stir in butter mixture. Add flour, salt and almond extract. Mix.
Spread 2/3 mixture into prepared pan.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until light golden brown around edges. Remove from oven.

Spread jam over warm crust. Warm jam a lil if you feel the need.
Stir remaining morsels into remaining batter. Drop spoonfuls of batter over jam. Sprinkle with toasted almonds.
Return to oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until edges are browned.
