Recipe - Fudge Filled Peanut Butter Muffins

1/3 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter or margarine
1 2/3 cup Flour
One half cup Firmly packed lightbrown
sugar
One fourth teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Baking powder
Three fourths cup Milk
One half cup Peanut butter
1/3 cup Oil
1 Lightly beaten egg
1 One half teaspoon Vanilla
One half cup Chopped salted peanuts
without skins (optional)

Preheat oven to 400øF, prepare pans. In a small saucepan (or microwave)
heat chocolate chips & butter until melted, stirring constantly; remove
from heat & reserve. In a bowl stir together flour, sugar, b/pdr & salt. In
another bowl stir together milk, p/butter, oil, egg & vanilla. Add dry mix
to wet mix until just combined. Spoon half of batter into pans. Divide
chocolate mixture among muffins, a scant teaspoon per pan; do not let
filling touch sides of pan. Spoon remaining batter over filling. Sprinkle
tops of muffins with chopped peanuts if desired. Bake for 2025 mins or
until lightly browned. Makes 9 muffins. Variation: A ripe banana cut into
1/2" thick slices & dipped in orange juice may be used instead of the fudge
filling.
