Chocolatey Jam Crumb Bars

A little while ago I received this gift in my email inbox and what a great gift it is!! A good friend of mine sent it to me telling me it was one "I know you will love". Yes, she does know me well. It is a true keeper!! Her son calls it "chocolately goodness", which is a perfectly description. These bars are so delicious and a little different than I had ever had. It is a great flavor combination and the family really enjoyed them!!
Chocolatey Jam Crumb Bars
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips, divided
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup jam (raspberry or blackberry)
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts
Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x13 pan.
Beat butter until creamy. Add flour, sugar and salt and mix until crumbly. Press 2 cups of the mixture in the bottom of the baking pan. Reserve the rest.
Bake for 10 -12 minutes until golden brown edges.
Microwave 1 cup chocolate chips and condensed milk on high for 1 minute. Stir until chips are melted.  Pour over the crust.
If desired add nuts to the remaining crumb mixture. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture onto the chocolate layer.
Drop teaspoonfuls of jam over crumb mixture.
Sprinkle with the remaining cup of chocolate chips.
Bake 25-30 minutes until the center is set.
Cool and enjoy!!
