Raspberry Peach Melba Mini Muffins with Peach Schnapps


 OH BOY Mini Muffins...

But not just any Mini Muffin, these have an incredible presentation of a bursting raspberry in the center of a peach loaded muffin.  With just a faint hint of peach booze to make this an amazing adult muffin destined to be legend around your Cul-de-Sac once you start bringing these around to jusa about any PotLuck, family gathering, Church function or any big gathering.

They are that good!

The recipe is very easy to follow.  The trick is to fill the raspberries to bursting with the peach schnapps.  Easy enough, just allow them to soak overnight in the schnapps (Marinade).  Then, as they bake nestled in the center of the peach muffin batter (Made extra moist and delicious with a bit of Sour Cream to insure the moist tender moist delicious muffin imaginable), that extra flavor BURSTS out into the batter adding color, texture and flavor to this classic combination...
