Chocolate Muffins

Submitted by internetnut

"You can bake these muffins at home and freeze until needed or make them in a dutch oven while out camping. If you make them at home, thaw them the day before you leave and they will keep for about a week under moist conditions. I found this recipe in The Trailside Cookbook. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping."
