Yummy, yummy, yummy! Just made these and ate one right out of the oven. They are superb! Very chocolatey - in fact, if you had only a half package of chocolate chips, it would still work. The batter is buttery and delicate yet dense enough to hold the chocolate chips without letting them all fall to the bottom of the muffin. I used my regular size muffin tin and filled the cups about 2/3 full and the recipe made 18 muffins. I sprayed the muffin cups with Pam and the baked muffins just fell out - no sticking! I didn't have any nuts so I omitted them and boy are these good! Thanks for the great recipe Charishma! I'm posting a picture, too.

These are so wonderful! I used buttermilk (because I love it), and half white/half milk chocolate chips. Mine did get a bit too brown on the bottoms at 15 minutes, but that is most likely the fault of my sub-par muffin tins. These were buttery, tender and perfectly sweet on the inside with a nice crisp on the outside. I did use pecans and I would highly recommend using them as they definitely add a little something! And to further gild the lily, I topped half of them with Kittencal's Kittencal's Chocolate Frosting/Icing (the light variation) flavored with a bit of Irish whiskey and Bailey's...pure and utter decadence! Thanks for a sure-fire winner, Charishma! ~Kari

Char, these are very good chocolate chip muffins. They went over great at our house. The only thing that I added was to sprinkle a little bit of sugar on top before baking. We will be making these often. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
