Hot Cocoa Muffins

WARNING!!!Do not attempt these if you dislike the warm and chocolatey smell of hot cocoa throughout your house! Just a fair warning, but let me tell you they really are worth making.  Kids and adults alike will love them, just try not to burn your mouth  eating them hot out of the oven ( it’ll be hard waiting for them to cool.)
