Everybody loves a muffin

Now that Easter is a couple of weeks behind us and the memory of all those eggs is in the distant past I think it's time to talk chocolate again, writes Alasdair Nunn of RachAls Kitchen Ltd, the Halifax catering company.

With their deep, rich chocolate flavour and indulgent dark chocolate chunks who doesn’t love a freshly baked muffin?

They are a chocolate lovers dream and the beauty of these muffins is that they can be made very easily and be ready to eat in no time at all.
