Strawberry Chocolate Chip Muffins

Chocolate covered strawberries in a muffin!! I have been sending in freshly baked muffins with my husband for his coworkers once a week. I asked what kind of muffins I should make this week and one of his coworkers requested strawberry and chocolate chip. I have never heard of this combination before in a muffin, but I thought it sounded delicious! So I went looking for this recipe. I guess many people have never tried this combination before because I was having a hard time finding a recipe. Finally, I decided to make my own. I used a simple strawberry muffin recipe and added a 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. From cooking numerous muffin recipes I know that if pieces baked into a muffin are too big everything sinks to the bottom of the muffin cup. In order for these muffins to have a mixture of strawberries and chocolate in each bite I used mini chocolate chips. I am not going to lie, I was a little hesitant when I started because I did not want to send in two dozen muffins that I had no idea what they tasted like. But I went ahead and tried this combination because it sounded sinful. I am sure glad that I did! My husband said that everyone gave them rave reviews.
