These luscious chocolate brownies have a hidden treat inside. A layer of raspberry jam.
Pretty much everyone loves a good chocolate brownie. They are just so velvety rich and chocolatey. Add a filling of raspberry jam and this turns into one of the best brownie recipes going.
The combination of chocolate and raspberry is perfect and a pairing that has been used often. Here the raspberry jam filling adds a tart/sweet fruity taste to the rich and creamy brownie recipe. It really makes it a fabulous dessert.
This recipe comes from a wonderful cookbook called Country Baking Cookbook: Recipes for Freshly Baked Goodies From Grandma’s Kitchen
. I have permission to share it with you here.
This is one of those Gooseberry Patch cookbooks that is full of down home easy to make recipes that you will want to have on hand forever. I love the Gooseberry Patch series of baking books because they are full of down home easy to make desserts.
This is a great recipe for baking with kids. Kids love chocolate and will love helping put together this yummy treat.
Raspberry filled brownies are also great as a holiday dessert recipe and are perfect for a mixed dessert platter.
Chocolate and raspberry are flavors that go so well together. I think they’re a perfect match. And of course any good brownie is a real treat and this is a nice one.
I hope you enjoy them.
