Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins

Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook

Yeah. I know… I am late today! Oh, don’t you think that I have forgotten FF15! I will not forget FF… NEVER! And how could I forget FF15 if I will be co-hosting today? 😀

Today, I am so thrilled that I will be co-hosting with the lovely Selma @ Selma’s Table. (Please don’t tell me you don’t know Selma. Well, if you have not met her yet, hop on to her blog NOW… And I meant RIGHT NOW!) 😛 And Angie’s right when she said that I need a little calming today from Selma. (I don’t mind kidding around, Angie! I love kidding arround!) 😛

Selma is so kind to offer some help in co-hosting ‘coz I was supposed to be somewhere else today. But… sssshhhh! I excused myself (from work) and will come back to the event later to finish my duties. I was not expecting to be at FF15 this early. I meant, if I was out at the event, I would definitely be soooo late today!

Fiesta Friday has been my favorite event of the week since I joined FF. What else could be fun after a long and exhausting week apart from having to chat with lovely people on FF? Licking the screen because you could not really eat the yummy treats these people have brought for FF. Angie @ The Novice Gardener is really so kind to invite us at her home to gather and make mess party. Again, thank you so much, Angie, for creating this amazing party ever. (We will never get tired of thanking you!) Also, I feel so honored that you have thought of me to co-host FF15 with Selma. I think we’ll make a good team, right? The calm and the hyper. 😀

When Angie told me about co-hosting FF15, I thought ‘Wow! This will be fun!’ and I was not feeling nervous at all. But when she sent me an email confirming about co-hosting FF15, I felt a little nervous and I read her email few times just to make sure I understood the message and my duties. 😀 Nervous of what? I don’t have any idea. Maybe, I was just super excited. 😀 I could hug everyone now!

For FF15, I am bringing you these cute little muffins, so you will not notice that you have eaten a lot. 😛 I was chasing time and running so late so I prepared something fast and easy. 😀 I prefer these muffins naked… I meant without the muffin cases. I think I over-baked the first batch as I was busy setting up the table for the photos and have not noticed the time.

Well, I had my timer on but I have not checked the muffins before the timer ends. So what I got were nearly over-baked muffins. They’re still edible but it was kinda dry. Good thing is, I still had remaining batter – I removed the muffin pan ahead of time and did not use muffin cases for the second batch. And they are moist and so yum!

…and before I make rounds, I am leaving you with one of my favorite videos. As for some of you, you know that I love watching YouTube videos just before I close my eyes to sleep. I will share more of these videos in the future. Anyway, this video has gone viral and I am guessing that some of you have seen this. I have mentioned this video to Linda @ La Petite Paniere and she loved it. I remember this cute little kid as I was making these muffins so I thought of sharing the video with you. I hope you enjoy and for those who have already seen it, laugh with me again! 😀 Enjoy!

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL MOTHERS OUT THERE!!
