Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins


Check out how spoiled my son is.  He says that he is "bored of cookies" because I make them "all the time."  :-) And he brings a valid point, I'll admit it.  Tonight we were hungry for a good dessert but Christopher and I really weren't into the standard chocolate chip cookie thing- so I found these when I searched for the recipe for the Costco muffins, which are among the very best.

These went from idea to oven in about four minutes.  Super easy to mix up and really good.  I didn't have any pudding mix this time but they were still awesome.  I'm leaving it in here because I am sure the pudding mix wouldn't hurt.

1 Devils food cake mix (or any chocolate cake mix)
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding (it's OK if you don't have this, my first time I didn't and they were fantastic!)
3/4 cup vanilla yogurt (plain works too)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup oil
3 eggs
2 cups chocolate chips, mixed in, plus extra to sprinkle on top 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees (maybe my oven is just too hot, but 400 was burning mine so just keep an eye on them, next time I will probably do them either rat 350 or 375). Lightly grease muffin pan (this makes about 20 muffins) or use muffin liners. Set aside. In a mixing bowl combine cake mix and pudding mix. In a separate bowl combine yogurt, water, oil, and eggs. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Fill muffin tins about 3/4 full and sprinkle a few chocolate chips on each muffin.  Bake 15-20 minutes or until center springs back. Cool on wire rack. These muffins will store for a couple of days, if you can avoid eating them that long.
