Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line 12 muffin cups with foil liners and coat each with nonstick spray.
Melt semisweet chips and butter together in a large bowl in a microwave at 50% power for 1 minute: stir. Microwave another minute and stir again. Repeat until mixture is smooth; let cool slightly.
Whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt into the melted chocolate.
Fold in flour just until incorporated, add milk chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
Fill prepared foil cups and top ech with additional milk chocolate chips. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, remove from the pan and cool on a rack.
