First of all, I have a serious sweet tooth and I loooove muffins, but I also love chocolate. The bad part is that muffins are so stinking high in calories though since they are full of sugar and don’t do anything good for you! I randomly found this recipe online and thought I’d give it a try and I was rather pleased with how they turned out.

They are super good if you are trying to eat clean and really need a sweet snack. It is nice to have these pre-made to eat or truly – snack on if I get a craving for sugar. The items linked are available at Wal-Mart and used to make this recipe
