Double Chocolate Muffins

From the Kitchen of "Mama" Sue Richmond


"Mama" Sue Richmond was a frequent visitor to Interlochen Arts Camp (Michigan) when my daughter Cora was there. She set up a brunch for the kids each and every Sunday morning all summer for all the kids. She was the coolest mom there. These muffins were a favorite with the kids.
