In small bowl, beat 1/2 cup margarine and1/3 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add melted white chocolate, beating constantly. Add eggs one at a time, beating at highest speed 3 minutes after each addition. Pour over raspberries; refrigerate until set. In small saucepan over low heat, melt semi-sweet chocolate and 2 tablespoons margarine; carefully pour and spread over white chocolate layer. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until set.
