Raspberry and Chocolate, Part 2

February 11th, 2010

I never really liked fruit mixed in with my chocolate. I was not a fan of strawberries and chocolate. So I just assumed that anything else would meet the same fate. But alas, I was wrong. Raspberry and chocolate isĀ  incredible. And these double chocolate raspberry brownies are incredible if not the ultimate pairing of the two. Give it a try.
