1
Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease a muffin tin and line with muffin liners.
-
2
Mix flour, salt, and baking powder.
-
3
Set aside.

4
In a larger bowl, cream the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy.

-
6
Slowly add in flour mixture and mix until blended.
-
7
Stir in chocolate chips.
-
8
Pour batter into muffin tin.
-
9
I fill them almost to the top because I like muffins that look top heavy, but you can fill them up less (about 1/2-2/3 of the way up) if you want smaller, more biscuit shaped muffins.
-
10
Combine all ingredients for the chocolate topping portion.
-
11
It should look like a brown paste.
-
12
Mold the chocolate topping into flat circles about the same size as the muffin tops and put it on top of each muffin.
-
13
As the muffin bakes, it will break up the topping so it won't come out looking like a solid circle of chocolate.
-
14
Bake muffins for about 25 minutes.
-
15
Set broiler to low and put muffins on the top rack for about 5 minutes.
-
16
Keep an eye on them.
-
17
You should see the chocolate topping starting to boil, but make sure the rest of the muffins don't burn.
-
18
(Optional) Take them out of the oven and sprinkle with granulated sugar while they're still hot.
-
19
Let them cool down and enjoy!
