Grease the moulds and spread the mix into the moulds up to ¾ height. Push a few raspberries into each mould and place in the oven, pre-heated to 180°, for 15 minutes.
Take out of the oven, leave for a few minutes then remove from the moulds. Then place the salted caramel chips on the financiers and leave them to cool on a cooling tray.
