Preheat oven to 350F. Combine cake mix, pudding, eggs, 1/2 cup of the rum, water and oil in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer beat at low speed until moistened. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup of chocolate pieces. Pour batter into a greased 12-cup Bundt pan.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes until cake tests done. Cool in pan for 15 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
Heat raspberry preserves and remaining 1/2 cup of rum. Strain through a sieve to remove seeds.
Place cake on a serving platter. Prick surface of cake with a fork. Brush raspberry glaze evenly over cake, allowing cake to absorb glaze. Repeat until all the glaze has been absorbed.

Combine vanilla baking bar and 1 teaspoon water. Microwave on high for 30 seconds or until melted. Drizzle on top of icing.
