Chocolate Spice Muffins

Took leave a day before Christmas Eve to whip up a mass muffins baking for my colleagues. Made a variety of muffins from my past tested and trial-ed recipes. Settled on a few including this one. Chocolate spice muffins! To warm everyone up a little, in the heart at least. Crusty muffin top accompanied by spicy cocoa flavors and dried mixed fruits. The recipe is a holiday season keeper.

Little xmas tags I've made. Ripped the angry muffin picture off google.

Muffins galore~

It was fun baking loads during this holiday season. Kinda disappointed that I didn't have the time to practice for a log cake this year, but I'll do that in the coming year.
