Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Melt the chocolate and butter together over low heat. I used a double boiler, which makes life easy. Let the chocolate/butter mixture cool (10 to 15 minutes).

3. In a medium sized bowl, lightly beat two eggs. Add the milk, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla to the egg bowl.

4. Stir in the cooled chocolate/butter mixture until blended well.

5. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Pour in the chocolate mixture, and stir until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips now, if desired.

6. Place liners in 12 muffin cups and divide the batter evenly into the cups. Lick the spatula.

7. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Let stand for 5 to 50 minutes.
