Recipe: Sour Cream Chocolate Muffins

Sour Cream Chocolate Muffins

5 ounces semisweet chocolate
2 baking chocolate squares
1/3 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup sour cream
2/3 cup brown sugar packed
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Mix semisweet chocolate, baking chocolate, and butter together, then melt carefully in microwave or over simmering water in double boiler. Allow to cool to lukewarm (about 110 degrees F).

In a mixing bowl, mix sour cream, sugar, corn syrup, egg and vanilla. Add melted chocolates and mix well. Blend flour, soda and salt in a mixing bowl, then add to the chocolate mixture and mix well.

Add the chocolate chips and stir to distribute evenly. Pour batter into 12 paper-lined or greased muffin tins.

Bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from muffin tins and allow to cool on wire racks.
