This recipe definitely needs raspberries that are in season, unless you love the tartness that can come through. The chocolate off sets the tang some, but not completely. I have made them with tart raspberries and ripe, in season raspberries...and ripe is better for sure! My kids definitely have a preference too. So here's my warning, don't come at me saying these muffins were gross when you grabbed some very sour raspberries lol. If you're not sure about the raspberries, just leave them out! This recipe can stand on its own very well!
