The Recipe!

First, make the Raspberry Caramel Center.

1. Purée raspberries in a food processor until smooth.
2. Melt the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on 50% power. Stop and stir every 30 seconds until melted.
3. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat and cook until golden brown (this is now your caramel).
4. Remove the caramel from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream and puréed raspberries.
5. Pour the caramel over the melted chocolate and stir with spatula. Add butter and salt; stir until mixed.

Now that you’ve finished your Raspberry Caramel Center, you can set it aside.
