Mixed Choc Craisin Muffins


I had some leftover white and black chocolates which had been hibernating in the fridge for quite a while.  So thought it a good idea to dump them with some craisins into a basic Muffin recipe and create a Mixed Choc Craisin Muffin for my afternoon tea.   I added a sprinkling of granulated sugar and cinnamon on top and this gave the added crispy, sweetish crunch...mmmm.   Saved some leftovers for breakfast and after popping them into the oven toaster, they tasted just as good!

    These muffins look scrumptious, Cheah. Cinnamon sugar topping is such a nice touch.

    Looks wonderful and I love the crunch of the sugar on top too....a healthy muffin for breakfast is good but I somehow still prefer the rich buttery cupcakes lol!

    Hi Soke Hah, great idea to add cinnamon and sugar as topping for these muffins. I can imagine the aroma coming from the oven. Will keep in mind when I'm baking muffins.

      Yes, try adding that on top when you bake muffins next time. The crunchy top is wonderful!

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.
