Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 18 candied pecans

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.

Step 2

Combine flour, sugar, butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix using a rubber spatula until combined; set aside.

Step 3

Place chocolate chips, milk, and vanilla extract in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir. Microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Mix together until it is a thick, dark chocolate sauce. Stir into flour mixture until completely combined and light brown in color.

Step 4

Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 1/2 to 3/4 full. Place a candied pecan onto the top of each muffin.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes.
