Mother's Day specials and a recipe for you!

Excitingly this weekend is our first ever double day of markets! We are celebrating Mum and have put together exclusive offers from our makers. As an extra treat, we are sharing in this blogpost a decadent recipe for all our beautiful Mums that follow us to tuck away in the recipe book from The Chocolate Cakery.

Mother's Day recipe by Lynne McKellar, The Chocolate Cakery ~

Sometimes you just need warm fudgy deliciousness! These Chocolate Fudge Muffins fit the bill perfectly. You can melt the fudge if you're feeling energetic or simply stir through small pieces of chopped fudge (my preference) either way you'll have morsels of chocolate heaven in no time. If you want more of a chocolate hit simply replace one tablespoon of SR flour with one tablespoon of cocoa powder. If you want caramel muffins, use caramel fudge, how easy is that! They're just as nice with or without icing, and especially good warm with ice cream. I really hope you enjoy making (and eating) these muffins, they just might become your favourites too!
