• In a small saucepan, stir the jam constantly over low heat until pourable, about 1 minute. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, blend together the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Using an electric hand mixer beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the jam over the top of the brownie batter. Using a small spatula, swirl jam into the brownie batter.

RASPBERRY-CHOCOLATE GYPSY BUNDLES

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use a non-air-cushioned baking sheet. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit. Lightly butter the baking sheet, and stick on paper.
• Place the 12 phyllo-dough sheets on a clean dry surface. With a sharp knife, cut the sheets in half widthwise so that you have 2 stacks, each measuring 8 by 11 inches. Combine the stacks. Cover with a damp towel. As you take sheets of dough from the stack, re-cover to keep them from drying out and becoming unusable. (Avoid getting them wet, because that makes them stick together.)
• Make six sandwiches of the phyllo dough sheets by lightly brushing one sheet of dough with melted butter, covering that with another sheet of dough, buttering that, adding another sheet, buttering that, and finishing with a fourth piece of phyllo. If there are a few tears or gaps in a sheet, just layer over them with another piece of dough. Less butter on the outer edges of the dough allows them to hold their shape better.
• Put 1/4 cup raspberries in the center of each sandwich. Top berries with a piece of chocolate. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar. To form bundles, gather up the edges of each dough sandwich with one hand, gently twisting the extra dough into a topknot on top of the fruit and chocolate. Leave the ends of the dough sticking straight up. Place on baking sheet. Brush bundles with any remaining butter. Bundles can sit for up to an hour before baking.
• Bake 20 minutes.
• Remove to cooling rack. Allow to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld electric mixer to whisk the milk, jam, melted butter, liqueur and eggs. Add the cake mix and beat on medium speed for about 1 minute.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted into the cake, about 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the ganache: Put the chocolate, jam, and liqueur in a mixing bowl. Bring the cream to a low simmer in a small pan set over medium-high heat. Pour over the chocolate and let stand 10 minutes. Stir with a whisk until smooth. Let stand another 10 minutes.
• Place the cake on a cake stand or serving dish and pour the ganache over it, letting it drip down the sides. Use the raspberries and mint to decorate it to look like a holiday wreath if desired.

RASPBERRY PAIN AU CHOCOLAT (RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each one into thirds along the fold lines. Roll each strip of dough out to about 16 inches long, and cut strips into thirds.
• Spread some of the hazelnut spread onto one half of each rectangle to within 1/2 inch of the edge. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of the raspberry jam over the hazelnut spread. Brush the edges with egg, and fold over the other side to enclose the filling. Press the edges firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining rectangles. Use a sharp knife to cut 5 slits across the top of each pastry, and place them on baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Cool on racks. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cooled if desired.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY BITES

Steps:

• Chop chocolate and in a heavy saucepan bring cream just to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add chocolate, stirring until mixture is smooth. Transfer filling to a bowl and cool slightly. Chill filling, its surface covered with plastic wrap, at least 4 hours, or until completely cold, and up to 3 days.
• Put tartlet shells on a tray. With an electric mixer beat filling 30 seconds, or until pale and thickened (do not overbeat or it will become grainy). Transfer filling to a pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch plain tip and pipe a small dollop into each shell. Press 2 or 3 raspberries into filling in each shell and pipe more filling 2 inches high into each shell, making sure filling touches insides of shells all the way around (to firmly anchor it). Chill tartlets until filling is firm, about 1 hour.
• Chop chocolate and cut butter into pieces. In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water combine all glaze ingredients, stirring until mixture is smooth. Transfer glaze to a small saucepan and cool to barely warm. Glaze may be made 1 week ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat glaze over low heat to barely warm before proceeding.
• Holding saucepan at an angle and working quickly, dip top of 1 tartlet into glaze until filling is submerged almost to shell, holding tartlet over glaze a few seconds to let excess glaze drip back into pan. Repeat procedure with remaining tartlets. Chill tartlets until glaze is set, about 15 minutes. Tartlets may be made 1 day ahead and chilled in airtight containers. Keep tartlets chilled until ready to serve.
