Made this recipe as given, & must say, your muffins are outstanding, but then I'm an orange-lovin' chocoholic, so . . . Had planned on sharing them with a small group of neighbors, but after the 2 of us devoured 4 of the muffins right out of the oven, we decided to keep 'em all to ourselves & snack on them for a couple of days! Definitely a keeper recipe! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed for one of the chefs I adopted during this Spring's Pick A Chef event]
