Decadent Chocolate Muffins – Let’s celebrate with chocolate

We’ve all gone into a bit of a baking phase, haven’t we? We keep trying new things and finding our favourites. One of our favourites here are muffins, especially chocolate muffins. They make even the oldest grown-ups feel like they are kids again eating sweet treats. We can also almost guarantee that you will be going back for more for a midnight snack with these Decadent Chocolate Muffins.

There isn’t much to baking muffins and this easy recipe is no different. It’s all about just adding all of the ingredients and baking them. Using muffin cups in your muffin pan is a great idea and we suggest spraying both with some Spray ‘n Cook. When serving, these Decadent Chocolate Muffins are perfect on their own, but when you add some butter and maybe some whipped cream, you have a really special dessert to serve to your friends and family. They make a great addition to any celebration or dessert.

Decadent Chocolate Muffins are very easy to make and are great for birthday celebrations or a weekend dessert with friends and family.
