Notes
*****For a change: After spooning batter into ramekins, press a Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup into the center. Smooth the batter over the top and bake as usual. You can experiment with different selections of candy. These freeze very well. *****Raspberry Sauce is good to spread on dessert plate before placing your cake, brownie, etc. on plate. You can also use to drizzle over desserts, fruits and ice creams.
