Yield 16-2 inch bars
Ingredients:
For the Shortbread
* 3/4 cup butter, softened
* 1/4 cup white sugar

* 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
Raspberry Oatmeal Crumble
* 2/3 cup frozen raspberry's

For the chocolate layers
* 1/2 cup dark chocolate
* 3/4 cup white chocolate, divided

How To Cook:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 pan with tin foil, leaving enough to hang over the edges and grease.

2. In a medium sized bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.

5. In a microwave safe bowl, cover the frozen raspberries with plastic wrap and microwave on high until completely thawed and very liquid, about 3 minutes.
6. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, oats, and flour.
7. Fold in the thawed raspberry until completely mixed.
8. To assemble the bars. On top of the already pressed in shortbread, sprinkle on the dark chocolate, and 1/2 cup of the white chocolate.
9. Press in the raspberry mixture, forming an even layer, fully covering the chocolate.
10. Pop in the oven for 20-25 minutes. (I cook mine, closer to 20 because I like them super soft!) For the white chocolate drizzle, in a microwave safe bowl, add together the remaining 1/4 cup of white chocolate with the butter.
11. Microwave for 40 seconds, stir, and add a teaspoon of heavy cream. Pop back in the microwave for 20 seconds and check again. If necessary, add more heavy cream and re-microwave until the white chocolate is smooth and easily pourable.
12. Once the bars are done, allow them to cool in the pan for 3-4 minutes, than easily remove and cool completely on a cooling rack, before drizzling on the white chocolate.
13. Drizzle, slice, and serve!
