A quick after school snack! I suggest using the small chocolate chips also, and maybe topping the muffins with some before baking. This recipe made about 40 mini muffins that took about 12 minutes to bake. Thank you for sharing! -
We thought these were delicious! Sarah, thanks for the recipe! -
I followed this recipe exactly except I used the mini chocolate chips because I had those on hand. Muffins turned out perfect!! The muffins were moist and delicious. I think they had just the right amount of sweetness and not salty at all as other reviews stated. I will definitely make these again!! Thanks!! -
Hmmmm I don't know what happened I seen all the rave reviews and thought for sure these were going to be a winner boy was I wrong! I was pretty disappointed in them. They tasted fine but mine turned out on the dry side and very dense.They did bake up beautifuly though. I think ill keep searching. -

A very nice basic recipe, that was easy to prepare and baked up beautifully! The muffins had a lovely soft interior with a crunchy top and tasted moreish! YUM!<br/>I reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup, cause I dont like my muffins too sweet and that was perfect with the sweetness from the chocolate. I think this recipe could easily be modified by adding in vanilla or cinnamon or maybe dried fruit instead of chocolate. The possibilities are endless and I will definitely try out some of them.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this tasty treat with us, Sarah!<br/>Made and reviewed for I Recommend Tag Game August 2010.

I love to cook. I've always lived in Georgia so most of my dishes have a strong southern influence. I've started trying to cook more international foods (besides Mexican, that's at least made once a week in my house).
