This morning, they celebrated the birthday of my neighboring office. I was obviously proposed to make the muffins! Unlike my usual, I arrived early to avoid missing the start. The worst, is that I almost miss the surprise it seemed so incongruous that I arrive early at the office! I wish to celebrate a happy birthday to Charlotte who helped break the myth of my lateness… ;-)

The muffins have, I believe, been much appreciated. I've been using this perfect recipe for years, by Pascale Weeks as a base for sweet muffins. I made a version of white chocolate-raspberry version in chocolate chip pudding Gold Coast (my guilty pleasure). I always do my chips myself with my favorite chocolate. Simply remove the chocolate from the refrigerator and chilled to break into nuggets with the tip of a knife vertically, it breaks alone.
