Double Chocolate Muffins 2 Ways

I made 2 batches of these Double Choc Muffins for V-day to give out to teachers and students at school. I thought it would be nice to spread a little love, and there is no better way than the love of food. Especially when they are home-made and from the heart. The reviews were really good and the people who ate it, liked it. It was a pretty straight forward recipe, I just topped some with peanut butter chips since I have half a packet laying in my fridge screaming to be used. I have to say chocolate and peanut butter does compliment each other very well. One thing to remember when making muffins is not to over mix, and we all have the tendency to do so. Just mix in the wet and dry until JUST combined, uniformed batter that is visibly lumpy with minimal mixing, or you will get a dense muffin.
