BLOODY CHEESECAKE BARS WITH BROKEN GLASS CARAMEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving excess paper on both ends to use as handles later on.
• In a large mixing bowl, prepare the sugar cookie mixes according to the package instructions. Stir the food coloring into the cookie dough to create a bright red dough. Press the dough into an even layer in the prepared baking sheet. Bake until crispy around the edges, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, prepare the cheesecake layer. Put the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the beater attachment, whip the cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar, honey, vanilla and salt. Whip on high speed for 1 minute more to incorporate the ingredients.
• Spread the cheesecake mixture over the cooled cookie layer. Use an offset spatula to make the top of the cheesecake very smooth. Tap the baking sheet against the counter several times to remove any air bubbles. Put the baking sheet in the refrigerator to chill the cheesecake until firm, at least 6 hours.
• Lift the cheesecake out of the baking sheet, using the excess parchment paper as handles. Cut the bars into jagged triangles of various sizes (see Cook's Note) and place on a serving platter. Decorate the bars with pieces of Broken Glass Caramel and Raspberry Blood Sauce.
• Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
• Attach a candy thermometer to a heavy-bottomed pot. Pour the granulated sugar, light corn syrup and 3/4 cup water into the pot and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a simmer and simmer until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F, about 40 minutes. Immediately pour the caramel onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow the caramel to cool until set, about 20 minutes.
• Break the caramel into pieces to resemble shards of broken glass.
• Put the preserves into a small saucepot over medium heat. Heat until the preserves melt into a thin syrup, about 3 minutes. Strain the syrup with a fine-mesh sieve; discard any seeds and pulp. The strained syrup is ready to be used as a "bloody" sauce for dessert. Store in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 3 weeks.

Beat until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour.
• In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of the whites into the cupcake batter. Fold in remaining egg whites in 2 batches.
• Divide batter among baking cups, filling each halfway full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of each comes out clean and the tops spring back when lightly touched, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely in tins set on wire racks.
• Meanwhile, make the caramel: Bring granulated sugar and water to a boil in a small high-sided saucepan, stirring, until sugar dissolves.
