CHOCOLATE LAVA MUFFINS
I believe this is an Alton Brown recipe. It is cakey on the outside and gooey chocolate on the inside. I have made these several times and they have always been a hit. Posting the recipe so I don't have to go searching for it next time I want to make it. Cook time is approximate, accounting for chill time.

CHOCOLATE LAVA MUFFINS
You really need to cool the batter before you cook these. The first two (negative) reviews were when I had Splenda in the ingredients list - now I've gone back to the original sugar. But really, the Splenda worked for me, too.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the muffins will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a crispy crust and a gooey center.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the lava from spilling out.
