double chocolate pumpkin muffins.

you heard me.

through some serious experimentation, i have found some seriously delicious muffins.

here's the recipe:

1 cup canned pumpkin
1/3 cup butter
1 package devil's food cake mix
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 bags semi-sweet chocolate chips
(do i really need to tell you what to do with the other 1/2 bag of chocolate chips? okay. straight up eat them.)

preheat oven to 375 degrees. grease your muffin tin (or line with papers). 
cream the pumpkin and butter until smooth.
add the rest of the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips. mix into a nice, fluffy batter.
fold in 3/4 of a bag of chocolate chips. spoon into muffin tin, filling each cup 2/3 the way full. sprinkle some of the remaining chocolate chips on top, eating a handful or so each batch.
bake for about 15 minutes, until toothpick is clean. makes about 4 dozen regular sized muffins.

i haven't exhausted my options with these, but i'm thinking of figuring out how to make them with applesauce instead of butter. somewhat healthy double chocolate treats? uh, yes. please.
