Chocolate chips make this raspberry muffin chocolicious.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is definitely one advantage of growing older. And that is that I don’t have to get up until I’m ready. And, well I can stay up as late as I want watching TV, go anywhere I want to go, when I want to go. I guess there are quite a few advantages. I love going to the movie at 10:30 in the morning and I average 1-2 movies a week (and I do ask for senior rates — didn’t think I would ever be glad to say I wanted “senior rates”).<\/p>\n

Do you think “hoarding” is something that happens as we age? I get an upset stomach watching those hoarding shows. I do, on the other hand tend to hoard food; especially berries that I pick in the summer months or in the case of these raspberries that I got for .99 cents and bought 40 cartons to put in the freezer.<\/p>\n

So, one Tuesday morning after a good 8 hours of sleep I decided to whip up these muffins to take to my craft circle. Do you see that happening a lot lately? I know they will be eaten. I have to be honest, a few weeks ago, I tried a gluten-free orange muffin and decided to add some extra orange extract. They were AWFUL, tasted like a mouthful of alcohol and when I noticed they were not being eaten, I threw them away. Gluten-free items are not my favorite things to make and I learned my lesson about adding too much extract; and, I would like to be known as that lady who brings “good” stuff.<\/p>\n

This raspberry muffin recipe has been in my files for at least 30 years. I’ve decided to change it a bit and add in some chocolate chips because I absolutely love chocolate and raspberries together. Did you ever see my chocolate ganache filled fresh raspberries<\/a>. If not, take a look, very cute, tasty little pick up treat.<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST: <\/strong>L<\/span><\/a><\/span>ayered<\/span> Shrimp Pie<\/a> is a great appetizer. I guess I always say that about things I made but if I didn’t believe it I wouldn’t say it. The original recipe was from my sister’s friend, Sue and I think her recipe called to put the shrimp on top. After catering for years, I knew people would just pick off the shrimp so I mix the shrimp in with the cream cheese mixture. Hope you will give this a try sometime this summer.<\/p>\n

This is for the streusel topping for the muffins. Cut the butter into the flour and sugar until you have pea size pieces.<\/p>\n

Cream the sugar and shortening then add in the eggs, one at a time.<\/p>\n

After the egg\/sugar mixture has been incorporated in the flour and milk, fold in the broken raspberries and the mini chocolate chips.<\/p>\n

Top each muffin with about 1 tablespoon of the streusel topping. Bake in 375 oven for 15-20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Yum, these are the minis, which I like best because you can eat more than one.<\/p>\n
