Birthdays, Chocolates and Muffins are some of my favorite things in the world, not necessarily in the same order. Although when put together, they definitely can rock anybody’s world!! So, this hump day I decided to spread some love by spinning them all into a delicious breakfast for my partner-in-crime’s birthday.
Come share our love for chocolates and celebrate his birthday with us!! Well, this goes without saying – Gobble Gobble!!
