Chocolate Muffins
These chocolate muffins vanished very quickly from my kitchen. I baked them and I was going to put frosting on top of it, but I liked the idea of frosting between two layers of muffin. Anyway I liked how they looked on the top after baking. There is a major plus.. they are very easy to cut in half and they will not break.
