Double Chocolate Strawberry Bars

First up, this is a whole lot of decadence!
Definitely NOT on the healthy side!
But if you love cheesecake and chocolate, this one is for you!
Reasonably easy recipe - but time consuming due to cooling in batches!


Base
1 cup flour
1/4 cup icing sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine

Mix flour with sugar in a bowl, cut in the butter until mixture is crumbly and there are no visible pieces of butter. Press into a greased 8"x8" baking dish (note - LINE the baking dish with greaseproof paper instead!!). Bake at 180 for about 15 minutes or until golden brown on edges and bottom.

Filling:
1/3 cup strawberry jam
1 cup white chocolate chips
4 oz (1/2 cup) cream cheese
2 tbsp cream or milk ( I used milk and it was fine)

Spread 1/3 cup strawberry jam over the still warm crust, not hot.
Melt white chocolate chips.
Beat cream cheese and milk together and add melted chocolate. Beat until smooth.
Spread over jam layer, I chilled it in the fridge before I put the cream cheese mix on top. Also - spoon the mixture across and push together to cover - the jam and cream cheese mix will definitely want to combine!! So be gentle! 
Chill until set (about an hour)

Topping:
Melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 3 tbsp of butter and blend well.
Pour over top of the layers and smooth out. Drizzle with additional melted white chocolate if desired.
Chill until set.
Cut into bars.
