White Chocolate Berry Muffins
Loads of chopped white chocolate and berries create a decadent muffin that rivals any cupcake. Muffins mix up easily, and are versatile enough to "fudge" the recipes slightly. Add more or less chocolate to you liking.
This is a great recipe for special brunches or carry-ins.

While the first berries of the season will soon be upon us, or already are in the warmer states, you’ll find them flown in from Mexico and South America all year long. Such is the fate of a popular fruit! So don’t feel bound by the season to try these recipes, but know they will usually taste better when made with seasonal berries, the more local, the better. I often freeze my own at the peak of the season (more on that later). . . . read more . . .
