Additional Information

REVIEWS Made these this afternoon, and love the simplicity of the recipe. As no time was stated I baked for 15 minutes, which turned out to be perfect. Muffins certainly benefited from frosting-- used the all-purpose one in How to be a Domestic Goddess. YUM! magicpantry Made this afternoon for a mid week treat (naughty I know). They were absolutely delicious! Chocolatey, orangey, everything you want and look and taste homely. Great for being in a comforting mood! Or a "bad week" if the ladies understand! Littlemissblue
