The combination of walnuts and dark chocolate pudding mimics the flavors of a brownie. The fruity notes from the raspberries and the lemony marmalade complete the picture with the crunchy nuts and chocolate. And these are fun to make! Layering and assembling them is something you can get the kids to do.
