Lightly grease 12 muffin cups or line with cupcake liners. Place about 1/4 cup batter into each cup. Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree F oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until top of muffins are slightly firm. Remember toothpick won't necessarily work because of the melted chocolate. Cool in pan for 5 minutes. Place on wire rack to cool completely. Makes 12 muffins.
