Muffin de Chocolate - Chocolate Muffin

Muffins come in all shapes and sizes... everyone has a favouite flavour!  They are the perfect run away treat or afternoon tea snack.  My aunt in Argentina always has a bowl of muffins at the ready for her ravenous children and grand children!  Over the next few days I'll post four of the top favourites as voted by the speed at which they disappear!  Mum used to make these little treats for our lunch box snacks they are so easy to make you can whip a batch pretty quickly!

I'll start with the classic - Chocolate Muffin!
