Raspberry Chocolate Dessert

I was going to take this to the Not-So-Newlywed Game at church, but we didn't go! I haven't made it, but I can tell we're going to like it. I am making it with my Larry in mind---he loves raspberries. it makes a lot of servings!

This is a convenience recipe---using boxed mix and canned frosting-----but this is how I do stuff! I got it from the Betty Crocker website this morning. I get an e-mail from Betty Crocker once a week or so, and I get good ideas from that. I saw the picture and knew it would be a hit.

Jamie is doing okay, by the way. He is still running fever, and when his medicine wears off, his fever just shoots back up. He was 101.8 earlier, and was down, but he's back to 101.9! Yikes! I better take care of my boy and get him some medicine!
