Double Chocolate Chip Muffins

After a long hard week, of working and eating healthily there is nothing, just nothing better than a freshly home baked chocolate chip muffin with a tall glass of milk...this we can testify. So why not treat yourself to a little bit of luxury this weekend and whip up some of these delicious muffins....
