In another bowl, whisk egg, half and half, butter and almond extract. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, just until moistened, and fold in chocolate chips. Divide batter evenly between muffin cups. To make streusel, use a small bowl and combine the flour and sugar. Cut in the butter until crumbly. Add almonds and sprinkle over batter pressing gently to adhere. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until tester comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 5 minutes, turn out onto rack to cool completely.
