White chocolate strawberry muffin

I've never baked with white chocolate before and when I saw some leftover white chocolate in the fridge, thought it best to mix in with my muffins.  I was curious as to how they would turn out, especially the colour.

These are easy to make and taste just yummy with tangy berries and bits of white chocolate.
