These are delicious! Moist and chocolatey, but not too sweet! I add a few mor chocolate chips to the tops of my muffins. Thanks for this muffin recipe!

These muffins are so chocolatey. If you are a chocoholic like me, these gems will satisfy your sweet tooth. I love the added chocolate chips, and the cream cheese filling-YUM! I am glad I doubled the batch. I baked at 350F for 17 minutes, they came out perfect and somewhere along the way I only had 22 muffins to put my tupperware container. Hmmm I wonder where the other 2 went?? LOL :) Thanks for sharing MP, Nick's Mom
