One of my favorite flavor combinations in the entire world is peanut butter and chocolate. Salty peanut butter with sweet chocolate is simply the most delicious pair that exists. These muffins are fluffy and decadent and strike the perfect balance between salty and sweet.It can also be made in cake form. They are ideal for breakfast, dessert or a mid-day snack. This recipe makes about 18 muffins, so make some and share with friends!
