Why not add raspberry preserves to your chocolate mix? I did that when I couldn't find raspberry extract at the last minute and it came out great!

I thought of that...but wasn't sure it would turn out. How much did you add?

I replaced 1 cup of wet (I think sour cream) in my recipe with 1 cup of raspberry preserves (no sugar added). At first I didn't think it was going to come thru, but actually it was pretty prevalent! I even said that next time I would probably dial it back a bit, maybe 3/4 cup...but that's just specifically my tastes, I'm not a HUGE fan of raspberry, but I wanted to try making something different as far as flavors. icon_biggrin.gif

All of my taste testers (sister, boyfriend, coworkers) said the raspberry was a good amount. Not too much, not too little.
