It's interesting that I got this recipe a year ago for Christmas as a gift, but barely had time to crack the cookbook open or give it the time of day--what an oversight to say the least. Once you taste these awesome chocolate muffins, not cupcakes as Geoffrey Zakarian points out in his book, you will wonder what other recipes should I have been posting!
