Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your muffins. Look for a chocolate that has a cocoa content of at least 60%.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dense muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups to the top: This will give your muffins a nice, tall shape.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them to rise quickly and develop a tender crumb.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
