Chocolate Raisin Bars

Chocolate Raisin Bars

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 c All-purpose flour
• 1 pn Salt
• 8 ts Potato flour
• 3/4 c Butter
• 1/3 c Raisins; chopped
• 8 oz Semisweet chocolate pieces
• 1/4 c Vanilla sugar

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Sift all-purpose flour, salt, potato flour
and vanilla sugar into a medium-size bowl. Cut in butter until mixture
forms coarse crumbs; mix in raisins. Mix together to form a soft
dough. Roll out dough on a floured surface to a rectangle slightly
smaller than an 11" x 7" baking pan. Place rolled-out dough in pan;
press to fit. Smooth top; prick well. Bake about 25 minutes or until
very lightly browned. Cool a few minutes. Using a sharp knife, mark
through surface of mixture with lines to use as a guide for cutting. Let
cool in pan. Cut mixture in 20 squares; remove from pan. Place
chocolate in a small bowl over a pan of gently simmering water; stir
until melted and smooth. Line a baking sheet with foil. Dip bars in
chocolate, coating evenly; lift out with a fork and tap gently on side of
bowl to remove excess chocolate. Place on foil. Place baking sheet in a
cool place until chocolate sets. If desired, any remaining chocolate can
be piped over bars for decoration.
