Ingredients
For the raspberry jellies:
- 2 cups of fresh raspberries, pureed
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice
For the chocolate coating:
- 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
Instructions
To make the raspberry jellies:
- In a small saucepan, combine the pureed raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, spoon the mixture into mini muffin tins lined with mini paper liners. Place in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the jellies are set.
To make the chocolate coating:
- In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
To assemble the chocolate covered raspberry jellies:
- Remove the jellies from the mini muffin tins. Dip each jelly into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat the entire surface. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let set.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, enjoy your chocolate covered raspberry jellies!

Notes
When making the raspberry jellies, make sure to stir constantly to prevent the mixture from burning. When dipping the jellies in the melted chocolate, work quickly so that the chocolate does not harden before you have a chance to coat the entire jelly. If the chocolate does harden, simply reheat it in the double boiler until it is melted again.
