I think this recipe is just wonderful! The raspberry dispersion is an issue - but I find that if you heat the preserves for 10 seconds in the microwave and use a spoon, it's much easier to distribute - I usually use about 3/4 cup of the preserves and it's great!

I thought the chocolate to raspberry ratio was much too high. The chocolate was overpowering. Also, I had a problem with the raspberry dispersion...it didn't, so there were blobs of it throughout the pan. Because the chocolate is soft when the raspberry is added, I am not sure what the solution is. Maybe piping it on?
