Notes
- Use good quality dark chocolate anything around 54 to 70% should do good. Anything beyond 70% you will have to alter the amount of sugar in the recipe. If I ever try then I will update. If any of you try, then pls do comment
- These muffins do not rise high like bakery muffins, because the melted chocolate weighs the batter down.
- Every oven is different, so keep an oven thermometer, my muffins baked in just 12 minutes.
- you dont want to overbake these muffins. So do check in between 12 to 15
- the size of the muffin depends on the size of the liner.
