Double Chocolate Happiness Muffins

Yes, dreams do come true, right after you toss these together these double chocolate muffins and pull them out of the oven.

And any leftover chocolate in the bowl will just have to get cleaned up by the troops who, I’m sure, will be more than happy to help out!

The happiness I get from these muffins do come from the chocolate on chocolate yumminess, but also the fact that they’re so so so simple to throw together! But most of all, they bring the happiness by watching how much your family will enjoy them.

Let me know how you like them!
