These "swoons" are guaranteed to make hearts flutter; choose our topping or invent your own, according to your pleasure.
step 1Preheat oven to 325°
step 2With a mixer, beat 1 stick of butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs, beating in one first before adding the next.
step 3Sift together flour, cocoa, and baking powder and stir in along with walnuts.
step 4Lightly coat molds with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Divide batter between molds and bake 45 minutes until just firm and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in rings 15 minutes on rack, but serve warm.
step 5While cooling, melt chocolate chips with corn syrup and remaining butter* over double boiler or in microwave. Cool slightly. Unmold hearts and spoon glaze over. Decorate with fresh raspberries.
*If making white chocolate glaze, use only 2 Tablespoons of butter and a little hot water if necessary. For ease, you can also use premade chocolate syrup, or apply any sundae-like topping. Hazelnut spread, if available, would be delicious.
