Valentine Recipes

Preheat oven to 350*. Line muffin pan with baking cups or squares of parchment paper. Cream butter or margarine and sugar together. Add eggs, and continue mixing until light a fluffy. Add baking soda, salt, and vanilla; mix thoroughly. Alternately, add buttermilk and flour to the creamed mixture, mixing only enough to hold ingredients together. Fold in cherries, nuts and chocolate chips, mixing lightly. Spoon batter into twelve muffin cups and sprinkle chocolate chips on muffins' top. Bake for 15-20 minutes (until bread tests done). Wait for it to cool slightly, then serve warm.
