Chocolate Muffins

It seems that winter is determined to linger on, so while the snow whirls around outside, some comfort baking is in order methinks.  Although I don't know who I'm trying to kid, it's not as if I stop when the warmer weather comes!
These muffins are fab, really quick and easy to throw together.  I've used white chocolate this time but often use milk or dark chocolate, sometimes fruit too...cherries are particularly good.
