Burst of Chocolate - Chocolate Muffins

Sensations of chocolate bursting at every bite!

I absolutely love chocolate. I mean who doesn't - making something chocolatey is always regarded safe - people would enjoy it and if don't well - they'd love you.

I got back early from work one evening and just felt like having choc muffins. Off I went searching for a good recipe, hunted for my baking equipments and drove up to the local store to grab some muffin cups. There I was standing in my humid kitchen at 9 pm working up my dreams of savouring hot bursts of chocolate in the middle of night. I stuffed the mixture in the oven and got on watching TV for the night - got back at 10ish and ooh boy the chocolate muffins surely did not disappoint. Each bite was flavoured with a rice taste of chocolate with an additional crunch of chopped nuts and lovely peeks of raisins popping up in intervals.
