This Dark Chocolate Raspberry Blondies Recipe is perfect any time of year. The next time you're craving a sweet treat, this tender, buttery blondie recipe packed with chocolate and raspberry flavor is a must. It's one of those go-to recipes that never lets you down.
I love this dessert. It's part cookie, part brownie, all delicious. Every bite has the best texture, and I love that it's loaded with dark chocolate. We make these dark chocolate blondies all the time because I love the texture and taste.
I highly recommend that when you make these fudgy blondies, you save a few for later. If you're anything like me, stopping after just one can be hard, so I portion and put some away so that I don't eat them all in one sitting.

How to Make Dark Chocolate Raspberry Blondies
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add parchment paper to a 9X13 baking dish and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Step One: Cream the sugars and butter until smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract and egg.
Step Two: Mix in ½ the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the remaining flour until just combined.
Step Three: Stir in ½ of the chocolate chips or chunks.
Step Four: Spread the mixture into the pan. Use your fingers to press it evenly.
Step Five: Add dollops of the raspberry jam and spread gently. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate on top.
Step Six: Put the pan in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the middle is no longer jiggly and the tops are golden brown.
Top Tip
Let the bars cool to room temperature before cutting so that they don't break. If they are too hot, they will crumble.
Substitutions
- Brown sugar - You can use dark brown sugar or light brown sugar for this recipe.
- Chocolate - Switch it up with white chocolate chips, white chocolate chunks, or even milk chocolate, too. I prefer to use dark chocolate chunks if I have them.
Variations
- Peanut butter - Swap out the jam for peanut butter for a fun flavor.
- Strawberry - We love these made with strawberry jam and white chocolate. You really can use any flavor of jam or preserves.
- Add toppings - Putting some fresh raspberries on top before baking is a fun way to add color and extra flavor.
- Cocoa powder - Add a chocolate flavoring by swapping ¼ cup of the flour for unsweetened cocoa powder.

Equipment
To make the baked blondies, you'll need to have a measuring cup, a large bowl, a baking dish, a rubber spatula, and a hand or stand mixer.
Storage
Once the raspberry blondies are baked, let them cool to room temperature before slicing and storing. These can be kept in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap to keep them fresh. They can also be stored at room temperature. If you want to freeze them, add them to a freezer-safe container and store them.
Common Questions
You can. Just know that if you use a smaller tin or dish, you'll have to adjust the baking time accordingly. The toothpick test is the best way to make sure that they're done baking. You may also notice a difference in the texture of the blondies, as a smaller container makes them fluffier and denser.
I like to put some juicy raspberries on top and then drizzle with melted chocolate. You don't have to have any toppings, but if you want them, add them. It's all part of the baking fun. You can also add toppings to half the pan, or just to your portion. That way, you can taste it and see what you like best.
