Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3 medium eggs
1 cup whipping cream, unwhipped
1/3 cup milk
8 tbsp. melted butter, cooled (or vegetable oil)
1 container (about 340 grams) purchased chocolate icing
chocolate chips (about 60)
fresh red raspberries (about 24 - 36)

For Garnishing:

**chocolate shavings

marshmallow "peeps"

mini chocolate eggs

**Note - to make chocolate shavings, simply use a potato peeler to "shave" pieces, or "curls", from a chocolate square.

Directions

Grease, (I used non-stick cooking spray), a 12 cup muffin pan.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and sugar.

In another large bowl, beat the eggs, and then beat in the whipping cream and the oil.

Make a "well" in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the beaten liquid measurements.

Stir gently, until just combined, do not over mix.

Spoon half the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Place about 5 chocolate chips and 2 or 3 fresh red raspberries in the center of each, then spoon on the remaining batter.

Bake at 400° F for about 20 minutes, until well risen and firm to the touch. Do not over bake.

Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then remove to a large plate until cooled.

Using the chocolate icing, generously ice the tops of each muffin.

Decorate the muffin tops using the chocolate shavings, "peeps", and the mini chocolate eggs.

Makes 12.
