Bottom Layer:
6 ounces chocolate (special dark or semisweet, chopped)
2 tablespoons shortening (not butter or margarine)

1 cup raspberry puree (canned or homemade)
2 cups water
5 packages raspberry-flavored gelatin mix (3 ounces each)

3 tablespoons shortening (not butter nor margarine)

  • Using a long, sharp knife, cut the candies into even squares and place each piece 1/2 inch apart on butcher paper.
  • Gather the ingredients.
