Looking in the fridge on Monday morning I spied five lonely Tim Tams still sitting in their pack. They were left over from my sister’s visit and it was taking all of my will power just to stop myself from eating them. To remove the temptation, and after the yummy success of my Tim Tam slice last week, I came up with this Tim Tam and Chocolate Chunk Muffins recipe. Ideally I would have used a full pack of the biscuits, so I upped the chocolate content by adding half a block of Cadbury Milk Chocolate.
The Muffin recipe is really easy, and our big boy had a great time helping me add each ingredient and mix it all together, although I did have to stop him from picking out the bits of chocolate from the bowl….. We were both eager to try these, and we sat on the floor in front of the oven watching them rise. Big boy wanted to try one as soon as they came out of the oven, and it took a bit of explaining that we needed to wait until they had cooled down. After his tantrum ten minutes, they were cool enough to eat, so we split one and shared it for our morning tea. These taste amazing, especially when eaten warm and the chocolate is still soft.
