"Cooking with Annie & Alicia" - Double Chocolate Muffins

I am entering the Cooking with Alicia & Annie: Cookbook Giveaway! with a recipe from http://www.anniesrecipes.com/ .....…

Double Chocolate Muffins.

I altered the recipe a bit- I couldn’t add the pecans because my son won’t eat nuts. I also used dark chocolate bits instead of white chocolate because I didn’t have the white ones.

The recipe was fairly easy to make but the finished product was a bit dry.

If I make them again I think I would alter the cooking time and maybe the temperture instead of 20 minutes at 400 degrees I would cook them for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Instructions :

Fill a greased muffin pans 2/3 full and bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.


NOTE: Nestle's Melts are cooking chocolate that come in a button shape, easier to melt and weigh than blocks. Nestle's Bits are morsels of pure chocolate, so they hold their shape when baked.
