Chocolate Bouchons with Fresh Raspberry

The name says it all. This small bite size dessert features rich chocolate cake shaped in a cork filled with bits of melted chocolate. On top of that it has drizzles of raspberry syrup and fresh raspberries. The name Bouchon is French and the name comes form the shape of a cork. Cork means Bouchon in French. It was inspired by Thomas Keller's Bouchon bakery. The best part about it is its not that hard to make if you have all the supplies. Its fast too it only takes 20-22 minutes to cook and 10 minutes to prepare. That's a total 30-32 minutes, not bad huh. It also serves up to 16 people. The ingredients you need in order to make these delicacies are 1 box of cake mix, 2 cups of mini chocolate chips, a pint of fresh raspberries and a jar of raspberry jam. To prepare follow the instructions below. Any way I didnt try this but it looks prettty good and I did try something that looks similar with fruit and It tasted pretty good. I would like to have this for dessert, I like trying new things and this looks pretty attractive. Enjoy hope I helped out with all you chocaholics, we all need a little indulgence at times.

Preparation

2.Spray muffin pan or bouchon baking mold with cooking spray.

4.Portion batter 2/3 full into a 2″ x 1″ deep muffin pan or bouchon baking molds.
