Soooo yummy! At first I thought that I wouldn’t like chocolate orange muffins, because it didn’t sound good. But when I took my first bite, it was sooooo good! The chocolate chips in the middle were melty, and was really yummy, especially after you have gone swimming, or been in the snow. They also smelt delicious. I gave some to my friend after a barbecue, and she said it was soooo yummy! I love this recipe, and you should totally make these muffins!

These taste great!! I used a really big orange so I could have lots of zest. I just made regular size muffins and all the chocolate chips were melty and good in the middle.
