Preheat oven to 425ºf and grease or line a 12 count large muffin pan. Set aside.
In a stainless steel bowl set over a simmering pot of water, melt the semi sweet chocolate. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the vanilla into the milk.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix on high speed the butter and the brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in eggs one at a time until combined well. Mix in the chocolate.
In three additions add the flour and milk. Starting and ending with the flour. Fold in the chocolate chips. And next gently fold in the raspberries.
Pour batter into prepared muffin pan. Bake for 5 minutes at 425ºf and reduce heat to 350ºf and bake for a further 15 - 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes and then remove from the tins. Muffins will keep up to 3-4 days in an airtight container.

*A note on times provided: appliances vary, any prep and/or cook times provided are estimates only.

Use room temperature ingredients – Using room temperature ingredients you will get best results in baking muffins. Make sure to take the eggs and the butter out of the fridge before hand.
Baking time – Baking time will vary for these muffins. Check them at about 18 minutes but they may take up to 22 minutes to bake. Muffins will be done when a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with a few crumbs.
Muffin size – These are large sized muffins but they don't rise high. The tops of these muffins are almost like a brownie.
Toss chocolate chips and raspberries in flour - Use about a tablespoon to toss the chocolate chips as well as the raspberries before adding to the batter. This will help prevent them from sinking in the muffins.
