I Really Needed Chocolate and A Recipe For Double Chocolate Chip Muffins

Yesterday, I had a terrible, over the top craving for chocolate. I say terrible because I really didn't have anything on hand to satisfy my craving.

Then I remembered this recipe for Double Chocolate Chip Muffins. The double part is because you not only add chocolate chips into the batter, but then sprinkle more chocolate chips on top of the muffins just before they are put into the oven.

I think they taste great right out of the oven when the chocolate is still warm and soft. Add a big glass of cold milk and you have a little bit of chocolate heaven.

Yummy!!!

Make sure you don't over beat the ingredients, and just gently fold in the chocolate chips.

I like filling my liners almost full so that the muffins are as big as possible. Sprinkle the muffins with more chocolate chips just before popping into the oven.
