Toll House Streusel Muffins

HokiesMom's Note:

From the Nestle Chocolate website. When you need that chocolate fix but want more than just a chocolate chip cookie then these may do the trick. I printed this recipe off in 1999 - and I remember my choco-holic daughter just loving these muffins. Unfortunately time and my unorganized printed out recipe collection has not allowed me to make these in a while but that will all change now.

These suckers are FULL of chocolate chips! Dang! And they are fab, of course! Made for a late brunch, they were everything I hope for! I used walnuts, as they were on hand, tho I would definitely try with pecans (my fave!) They have been shared and will be made and shared again! Thank YOU for sharing, HokiesLady!

Very quick to put together! I made 1/2 a batch and they were perfect for an afternoon snack. I used mini chocolate chips and walnuts in the streusel. Will make again! Made for I Recommend Tag.
