Chocolate Overload Muffins are a double chocolate muffin recipe loaded with chocolate chunks, chocolate chips and chocolate sprinkles. So good!
Are you a Choc-O-Holic? I totally am. I really have a love for chocolate. Every time I am in the store & I pass the bakery section I see those double chocolate chip muffins. It takes all the self control I have to not put them in my basket. Which is why I made these Chocolate Overload Muffins.
But I convince myself that I am going to just make some. I never do- which is probably a good thing- right??!!

Here are some commonly asked questions
Why aren’t these muffins very sweet?
Short Answer, they are muffins, not cupcakes.
Now I have had people question the amount of sugar in comparison to the other volume of ingredients. These are muffins- so the muffin itself isn’t overly sweet – which is why the call for this amount of sugar.
Most of the sweetness comes from all the extra chocolate added – but it works because then they are not so overly decadent that you can’t enjoy them in the morning.
