This simple yet impressive-looking dessert requires just five ingredients to make, and you and your guests won't be able to get enough of it. It's the perfect finishing sweet touch after a successful fall dinner party. Roasting the pears really intensifies their sweetness. All you have to do is cut them in half, brush them with melted butter, and bake in the oven until tender, which should take about half an hour. Filling their core with chocolate and drizzling them with raspberry sauce is a wonderful finishing touch. Feel free to use your favourite berries instead of raspberries to make the sauce, if desired.
