If you don't like white chocolate, use a dark/ milk chocolate instead!

Step by Step

1 Preheat the oven to 190ºC (fan 170ºC, gas 5). Line a muffin tin with 12 paper cases.

2 Put flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Add margarine or butter, caster sugar, cocoa and eggs. Beat with an electric whisk for 3-4 minutes until smooth.

3 Fold in three-quarters of the white chocolate pieces. Spoon the mixture into the cases and sprinkle with remaining white chocolate.

4 Bake for 20-25 minutes until well risen and firm to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack. Drizzle with the melted plain chocolate. Serve the muffins warm or cold.
