To make a delicious dessert, low-fat cottage cheese is combined with Cool Whip Lite® and dry sugar-free gelatin. You can use any Jell-O flavor; my favorites are lemon or orange.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup raspberry jam
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup white sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Combine flour, sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt for crust in a bowl. Add butter and cut in with a fork until crumbly. Press mixture into the prepared pan, pushing up the sides to form the crust. Spread raspberry jam evenly over the crust.
- Combine flour and sugar for crumble topping in a bowl. Add butter and cut in with a fork until crumbly; sprinkle on top of jam.
- Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, combine chocolate chips and milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook and stir until melted and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled bars.

Reviews
I hate to be the first reviewer and give these a bad review, but neither my husband nor I cared for these. I thought they were way too sweet, which isn’t saying much because I find everything too sweet—but even my sweet-toothed, puts-sugar-on-his-sugar husband said they were too sweet. And the predominate flavor in the bars, other than sweet, was simply of baked jam, and not a lot else. It’s shocking that the chocolate didn’t come through at all (except for what’s drizzled on top). I think maybe these could be tweaked to suit our tastes more (i.e. less sugar, more cocoa, less jam, maybe some fresh raspberries and chopped dark chocolate added to the filling), but I don’t know that I’d make them again. Sorry!
