Chocolate chip muffins a la betty crocker!

I generally try to play safe and avoid taking unnecessary risks, so the first muffins that i baked were out of the box. Yup, I confess to the ultimate baker's crime - I baked betty crocker's chocolate chip muffins which were simply heavenly. They were moist, delicious and most importantly home-baked!!

My brothers totally loved them and actually think that I am a professional(which I will be one-day)!!
