Even though I made changes I still gave these muffins 5 stars because my children loved them. Add the 1/2 sour cream, 2 eggs (instead of 1) and 3/4 sugar (instead of 1/2 c) and they are perfect. Also, reduce the cooking time. I only cooked mine for 18 minutes.

I followed this to a T. I don't think they were chocolate-y enough and they were a little dry. I probably could have baked them less. I baked them for the lower recommended time.

Based on other reviews, I added another egg, but I still found these to be dry. I gave it four stars because my six-year-old really loves them anyway.

This is the first time a star rating tricked me. I did not notice all of the "upgrades" to the recipe until my dry muffins came out of the oven. They do have the potential, and I will try the recipe again with the add-ons. I just now learned to check *all* of the recipes for reviews in the future.

They were really nice!!! Instead of melting the butter and chocolate on the stove I melted it in the microwave. I also used everyones suggestion of milk and sour cream and another egg. At the end I added some white chocolate chips.

I followed other reviewers advice and added an extra egg. When I went to get the buttermilk out of the fridge I realised that it was out of date so I used milk that I added a tsp of vinegar too. The 5 teenagers that were here for dinner demolished these in no time. Thanks.

I used the advice from some of the reviewers. I added an egg, 1/2 c sour cream and used regular milk instead of buttermilk. It was fabulous. I definitely think you need to check these at 18 minutes, as they were very done at that point in my oven. My family enjoyed this recipe very much, and they were very easy to make.
