Double Chocolate Muffins
Yield: 12 servings

4 oz (1 stick) butter     
3 1-oz squares unsweetened chocolate, cut up
1 c sugar
1 egg
2 ts vanilla extract

dash salt
2 c flour
1 c buttermilk
1 ts baking soda
6 oz semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)

Preheat oven to 400 deg. F.  In a 2-quart glass bowl, combine butter
and unsweetened chocolate.  Heat in microwave oven on High 2 to 2
1/2 minutes, until melted and smooth when stirred.  Let cool to
lukewarm.

Stir in sugar, egg, vanilla, salt, and buttermilk, until thoroughly
blended.  Mix together flour and baking soda and stir into chocolate
mixture just until combined.  Stir in chocolate chips.

Spoon batter into 12 paper-lined 2 and 1/2 inch muffin cups, filling
to top.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in center
comes out clean.  Let muffins cool in pans 5 minutes, then transfer
to racks to cool completely.  Serve warm or cool.
