Easy Chocolate Muffins
These muffins are gorgeous. They don’t involve any hard work; you just mix everything together with a spoon and pop them into the oven to bake. Couldn’t be easier, right?! I’m all for making my life easy in the kitchen.
The kids and I loved making these. I try to be extra creative when I make birthday cakes. I want the end result to be perfect, and my kids to be excited with my creation.
A very important bonus is to let the kids decorate the cakes. Lay out all the toppings for them in small bowl and let them go crazy. That way, mom gets to rest a bit (bonus!) while the kids are occupied in the kitchen (double bonus!).
