A serious concoction of caramel, mocha and chocolate – this is no breakfast muffin. Today’s recipe is being adapted from Baking Mad. My changes were simple but had great impact on the overall taste.
I used part flour and part cocoa to add the chocolate to the muffin. I used Hershey’s caramel sauce instead of the caramel bits that the original recipe demanded. The milk was flavored with coffee and the muffin once out of the oven was topped with a luscious chocolate glaze.
Over to the recipe – a marriage of divine chocolate, mellow caramel and strong coffee – the perfect dessert muffin.

Coffee and chocolate – a combination that is so hard to beat! These look SO good. In that left muffin it almost looks like the chocolate is coming out from within the muffin. :) YUM!
