viral olympic chocolate muffins

a box mix dupe for the viral olympic chocolate muffins. makes 12.

formula

  • 1 box betty crocker triple chocolate fudge
  • 3 tsp instant espresso powder
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • cup ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 generous pinch of salt

method

  • preheat oven to 350℉.
  • pour box mix into a medium sized bowl.
  • add instant espresso powder and salt.
  • add oil, water, and eggs to bowl and mix!
  • fold in chocolate chips.
  • pour batter evenly across 12 muffin liners. they should be pretty much full.
  • follow the muffin tin baking instructions on the back of the box. for me, it usually takes 16m.
  • allow to cool completely.
  • fill the center with cooled ganache with any method. i've used a piping bag (easiest and least messy), a ketchup squeeze bottle (second best), and the good ol' spoon-it-in method.
