It was Huss's birthday last week, so a few of us met up for drinks at the Wild Colonial to celebrate. I baked chocolate lava muffins, a recipe I got from my brother-in-law. Here's how you make them:

Preheat oven to 350. Melt 1 stick of butter with 8 oz of semisweet chocolate over a double boiler. If you want it a little less sweet, use a couple squares of unsweetened choc. While that's melting, mix 1/2 c sugar, 3 tbs flour, and a pinch of salt. At this point, you can also butter a muffin tin and dust it with cocoa powder. Once the chocolate is melted, stir in 1/2 tsp vanilla and mix in the dry ingredients. Crack one egg into the chocolate mixture and beat on high with an electric mixer, making sure to incorporate all the chocolate. Do the same with three more eggs, beating the mixture thoroughly between each egg. By this point, the batter should be light brown and a little frothy. Spoon batter into the muffin tin and bake 10ish minutes. The insides of the muffins should be a little gooey when you take them out. Let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Otherwise, they might get a bit deformed. Enjoy!
