Double Chocolate Muffins

This muffin is a sure winner because it’s double yum and double fun. Don’t eat too much though, or you might double your belly.   I got the recipe from Mr. Breakfast.com.

For the muffins, you will need:

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 3 squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 1 stick butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 dash of salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Procedure:

1)  Preheat oven to 400F.  In large saucepan, combine butter and unsweetened chocolate and heat on a low heat until mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool until lukewarm.

2)  Stir in sugar, egg, vanilla, salt and buttermilk until well blended.

3)  In a separate bowl. sift together flour and baking soda. Stir this into chocolate mixture just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

4)  Spoon batter in 12 paper muffin cups or well-greased muffin tins. Fill to 1/4 inch from the top.

5)  Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove pans from the oven and let cool before serving.  Happy eating!
