You can never ever go wrong with Chocolate and Raspberries. It's one of my go-to flavor combinations and a frequent theme for me - cakes, tarts, truffles, you name it. This recipe calls for unsweetened chocolate which has a slightly bitter edge to it. The raspberry jam swirl adds a welcome tart/sweet punch of flavor to an otherwise ordinary brownie.
