Raspberries, Chocolate Brown Betty recipe



As I was sitting at the doctors' clinic (a couple of months ago), waiting for my turn to be called in.
I grabbed a few magazines, to kill time, usually, it takes about 30-45 minutes before my name was called, even though I was on time (always on time and sometimes ahead of time ), unfortunate for me.... the doctor was never on time

Whilst flipping through, spotted a few recipes I liked but was too embarrassed to ask for some papers at the reception, so I did what most people with smartphones do!!!
... take photos

I had never heard of brown Betty dessert before; raspberries, chocolate, and ice cream.... one word kept playing over and over again.... "Yummy...."

I made these babes twice

First round:  Dark chocolate Melt buttons were used and sprinkled with molasses (as per photo after the recipe ...below)
E complained of dark chocolate (she is not a fan of dark chocolate!!!) and H complained it's too dry!!!

Second round: Chopped dark chocolate for 3 of us and milk chocolate for hers. Sprinkled with raw sugar.
E was happy as I made hers with milk chocolate, but H, "Nah!!! I still don't like it" 
(he doesn't like Saviordi biscuits!!! period!!!)

Will I be making it again???
Yes... Brown Betty for THREE!!!
