Contributor: Deb

15 - 20 minutes 350 degrees grease 8 of 12 standard
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup Ghirardelli 60% Cocoa Bittersweet Chocolate Chip divided
1/3 cup Ghirardelli Classic White Chips
2 Tbsp raspberry jam
Chocolate Mousse (for chocolate lovers)
whipped topping

In a medium size saucepan, melt butter. Mix in cocoa, stir until smooth. Add sugar, eggs and vanilla; mix well. In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to cocoa mixture, mix just until flour is coated – do not over mix. Divide among the 8 greased muffin cups. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until set firm but the center is still slightly soft. Remove and place on a cooling rack. Using a teaspoon, press the center of each chocolate cup to make a well. While the chocolate cups are cooling, melt a 1/3-cup of bittersweet chocolate and white chocolate in a microwave bowl. Once melted, add the raspberry jam, stir until smooth. Divide among the chocolate cups. Just before serving, crush the remaining bittersweet chocolate chips. Top each chocolate cup with chocolate mousse or whip cream and a sprinkle of crushed chocolate chips.
