A gooey, decadent chocolate treat for you and your loved one.

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Brownies

Rozanne Stevens says "This recipe makes the most gooey, decadent chocolate brownies imaginable. A word to the lads: if you have annoyed your missus, a tray of these will go a long way to patching things up. With chocolate as the mortar. The frozen raspberries work brilliantly as they stay whole during the baking process, adding bursts of pink tartness in the slab of chocolatey goodness."

Dermie's Chocolate Brownies with White Choc

These brownies are made from three different chocolate varieties with a mixture of dark, milk and white chocolate. The chocolate I used was O' Conaill's Cork chocolate but Valrhona or Lindt are more readily available in your local supermarket or chocolate shop.

Chocolate Truffles

Tip: You can add any flavour liquor you like to the mixture, just mix it in when adding the butter. To make chocolate truffles look like Christmas puddings, drizzle a small amount of white chocolate over the truffle and then with either coloured chocolate or icing, pipe green leaves with red berries on top to resemble holly.
