Chocolate Lava Muffins
"You really need to cool the batter before you cook these. The first two (negative) reviews were when I had Splenda in the ingredients list - now I've gone back to the original sugar. But really, the Splenda worked for me, too."

I used semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of bitter sweet chocolate. I made 7 batchs (84 muffins) baked at 375° F - they turned out perfect. Cooking time was 9 to 11 minutes - each batch required a slightly different time. -
This was so bitter! I couldn't even swallow the bite. Oh, and no lava.....

This recipe didn't turn out well at all. For starters the recipe has a question mark after the temperature to cook at so I wasn't sure if it was 375 or not. I did cook at 375 and the muffins came out very dry. Thus no lava. I had made them for company and was very disappointed.
