Chambord Raspberry Brownies

Start with a cake mix to make these fast and rich raspberry brownies. Chambord is a French liqueur made of black raspberries, vanilla, and honey. If you don't want to purchase a full bottle, look for the single serving bottles. This recipe uses raspberry-flavored chocolate chips which may not be available in your area. You can substitute fresh or frozen raspberries, semi-sweet chocolate chips, or raspberry jam in the mix.

Ingredients:

1 devil's food cake mix (18.25 ounces)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup Chambord liqueur
1 cup raspberry-flavored chocolate chips
1/4 cup (about) confectioners' sugar

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick foil. Combine cake mix, eggs, oil, water, and Chambord liqueur. Fold in raspberry chocolate chips. Pour into prepared baking pan and smooth. Bake 35 to 40 minutes. Cool to room temperature before cutting. Dust with sifted confectioners' sugar before serving.

Servings: about 24 to 36 bars, depending on cut size.
