Seriously try them! You want to impress your girlfriends or loved ones with home made candies? Well here you go. I love raspberries, cream cheese and chocolate so naturally combining them had to happen. Topping it with sea salt was a last minute idea of genius. I refrigerated them overnight, the next morning popped one in my mouth as I pretended to be looking in the fridge for my toddlers fruit. Haha! Mommy’s in heaven she will be right out of the fridge with your breakfast, please wait patiently without whining!
This is another recipe of mine that needs to sit for a minimum of 3-4 hours, but preferably overnight. Allowing the raspberry to soften and mix with the filling, giving you a homemade candy that’s sure to please your taste buds. We all run late sometimes and this is why I love recipes that can be made the night before. It leaves one less thing to do the day I’m busy getting myself and my little one ready. I can pretend that extra time will be used for myself, but every mom knows that never happens. Just being on time and not forgetting something is a victory in my book.
P.S. I love and recommend using Trader Joe’s semi sweet chocolate chips

Can’t wait to hear your feedback Sarah!
What is the easiest way to dip the berries into the chocolate without burning fingers or making a big mess?
Louise, I use a spoon and fingers, the chocolate should be just melted and warm.
