Ingredients

  • 120g butter
  • 250g dark chocolate buttons
  • 2 cups self raising flour
  • 3 tbsp cocoa
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp mixed spice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 120g sultanas
  • 1 tbsp mixed peel
  • 190ml milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 100g white chocolate

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with patty cases.

Melt butter and 150g chocolate buttons over simmering water, stir until smooth. Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Stir through remaining chocolate buttons, sultanas and mixed peel. Combine milk, eggs and lemon juice in a jug and pour into flour mixture. Pour in melted chocolate and stir until just combined.

Spoon mix evenly into patty cases. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until firm to touch. When cool enough to handle, place on a wire rack to finish cooling.

Melt white chocolate* over a saucepan of just-boiled water. Pipe white chocolate crosses over muffins (see tip, left), allow to set before serving.

*White chocolate melts at a lower temperature than dark.
