There’s chocolate and there’s double chocolate! I am not normally one for double chocolate (I know, surprising isn’t it?), but I woke up one morning craving an American style extra large muffin, and a core definition of Hygge is that you eat what you wish, without couting the calories! But of course, it was precisely at that moment that I had run out of cupcake liners, save for mini cupcake ones – the kind I normally avoid… because, let’s just say, I don’t believe in minis! But situations have a way of taking the mickey out of you, so I literally had no choice. This batter was made in just a few minutes, and they baked while I had my breakfast, coffee, chatted on the phone and caught up on 3 emails… it was a productive morning!
So here you go, 32 mini muffins that you can pop into your mouth on the go, spreading the joy with chocolate and living life into bliss!
