I served these for Sunday brunch, and my family loved them! Despite careful crimping, the raspberries oozed out a bit, but no one seemed to care. Thanks for the recipe!

Oh my goodness. These were incredible little bites of summer. I used good quality dark chocolate and raspberries from my bushes. Must remember, double the recipe. These were easy to assemble and the results were excellant. Not sweet just tart, rich and chocolatey. I can't wait to make these again, next time I may add a little cream cheese. Thank you so much for sharing with us Sharon123, I see endless possibilities

OH MY, anything that rich should be against the law! I used Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate squsrers and they are soooo good! Couldn't wait for desert, had to have one fresh out of the oven. Thanks

This was great! I have not work with puff pastry before so I am so glad it was easy and tasted great. I love raspberries and chocolate, now so does the rest of my family!!! Raspberies and chocolate...just give me some champagne!

I love chocolate and I love raspberries and - since I am on the 2006 Zaar World Tour - I was feeling a little adventurous, in the mood to wander off the beaten track. These were fun to make, and every bit as delicious as I'd anticipated! We enjoyed them with a generous dollop of Greek yoghurt flavoured with honey and cinnamon! Totally YUMMY! Thanks for this recipe, Sharon!
