Working in two batches, melt half of the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat or heat a griddle to medium hot. Dip half the bread slices quickly in the egg mixture until slightly soaked. 4. Transfer to skillet and sprinkle each slice with a quarter chocolate chips.

Turn down the heat to medium low and cook turning once until well browned and cooked through, 5 minutes per side. 6. Serve on warmed plates sprinkled with a little additional confectioners' sugar. Spoon a small amount of raspberry sauce around the toast and garnish with 2 whole raspberries and a sprig of mint.
