This recipe for Small-batch Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins makes four big beautiful chocolate muffins stuffed full of melty chocolate chips. Since I started Baking Mischief, I get lots of recipe requests from friends and family, but loudest and most consistent among them has been from my youngest sister, for me to make chocolate chocolate chip muffins. And I’ve ignored her requests because chocolate muffins usually aren’t my jam and because withholding things they want from younger siblings totally is (guys, I am the greatest big sister ever), but all good things must come to an end (and make even better things), so this week, I finally tackled chocolate chocolate chip muffins, small-batch style....

This quick and easy eggnog latte recipe is perfect for using up leftover eggnog and makes every morning feel like Christmas morning. Eggnog and I have always had a love/hate relationship. I love it, but I can only drink about two or three sips before all that thick, sweet creaminess starts to be way too much. Still, I love having it on hand around the holidays to use in recipes (like my favorite Christmas cookies ) so in December, I always have multiple bottles go to waste where I’ve only used like a third of a cup....
