Chocolate Cha Cha Chai Muffins
By Shannon Scales
If you've ever had the chance to try one of Lady Baker's chocolate chai muffins you will understand the obsession we have with them. They are the perfect balance of chocolate and spice and have an almost brownie like texture. Fudgy centres and crunchy, crackly tops make these decadent chocolate muffins the perfect treat! Excuse me while I tuck into one...
