Raspberry-Spiked Brownies

I've always had an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other trying to pull me in either direction.  Angel Food versus Devil's Food.  Virtuous or sinful.  Light, fluffy, and airy versus deep, rich, and fudgy.  Really.  What's a girl to do!?  

I know that I probably should have leaned towards the angelic side and made a big batch of these pillowy Raspberry Marshmallows.  But no.  I shunned the pillow and opted for the blanket.  The lush, chocolaty blanket, instead.  I'll be virtuous when the weather turns warmer.

You win some, you win some. Oh yeah, I said it.
