My daughter Chelsea has been in a baking mood lately, so she is constantly trying new recipes. She wanted to make something with white chocolate in it for Sweetest Day and searched and found this recipe.

When she first made the muffins we were missing a few of the ingredients; allspice & orange zest. They turned out delish so I decided to make them again. This time picking up the extra ingredients that were missing. I liked this batch, but didn't love them like the first ones.

So when I offered to make them for the Bertram I decided to stick with the first recipe that didn't include the allspice. They are my new favorite muffin!
