Heating up raspberries, which are full of water, tends to make them burst, yes. It’s kinda how people make raspberry sauces on the stove. Heat breaks down the raspberries so you can make sauce or jam or what-have-you.

But how did it TASTE?

The Cardinal rule of melting chocolate is to keep it away from water. Your chocolate will seize up and will not melt smoothly.

You’ve made a chocolate raspberry jam. Depending on the taste, it could make a nice filling for a dessert.

Not stupid, just mix it with oats or something.

Mate just pour warm chocolate on the raspberries

And that’s how you learn stuff!

Raspberries are very unstable. A lot of places who prepare them don’t even wash them because the water fucks them up

I can’t imagine the mess inside the microwave.

I’d give 20-30 seconds. People microwave the crap out of things!

To melt chocolate in the microwave put uniform pieces in a small bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals. Stirring vigorously after each attempt and shortening the interval when it is close.

This reminds me of the time I tried to dehydrate raspberries in my food dehydrator. Just ended up with little red puffs of air.

I’d use freeze dried raspberries if you’re trying to make chocolate with raspberries. Or dehydrated raspberries. As others have mentioned, chocolate doesn’t like water. It makes it break.

I mean this kindly, but had you had a date with the devils lettuce?

Put this over some vanilla ice cream, delicious!

Thought this was bloody meat goop at first glance.

Okay but have you tried heating raspberries and putting it on top of (not heated) ice cream?
For the berries, try stovetop heat, you could even add a touch of sugar to sweeten it up (not needed at all, I just don’t love how tart some raspberries can be) drizzled chocolate is a great option, [here’s a recipe for chocolate raspberry bark](https://beginwithbalance.com/raspberry-chocolate-bark/) that might hit the spot for you!

That’s some like cartoon logic. Like floating through the air when you smell a delicious pie.

Nope, you made a raspberry chocolate compote. I reckon that would be alright on a pancake or crepe if you sweetened it a little

Stir it well and put it over ice cream or yogurt or make a shake. Looks edible

That looks dunkable, I’d 100% get a digestive or a hobnob in that

This looks like the aftermath of chugging a bottle of red wine over dessert. But as I always say, don’t knock it til you try it.

Just do this in a pot on the stove. Would’ve had MUCH better results.

Chocolate and water don’t mix that well.
