Rainbow Muffins, They're Chocolate Chip!

Do you see that muffin? Do you? That muffin is filled with chocolate chips and sprinkled with some delicious colors. Colors make anything taste good. It certainly makes these muffins delicious. After you make the basic muffin recipe, you could really add anything you like, if you are crazy enough not to want to fill them with delicious morsels of amazing chocolate! You could use blueberries, or walnuts, or porcupines, or the girl next door! Only not really, because that would be cannibalism. Oookay, so...lets get down to the business of making non cannibalistic food!

Les ingredients (the ingredients for any non fake french speakers): Flour, Sugar, Salt, Baking Powder, Milk, Butter, Eggs, Vanilla, Chocolate Chips

Of course, we need some food coloring as well! We have eight colors. Thats right. 8.

Firstly we throw all the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder)


Then you add the eggs, butter (its melted), sugar and vanilla

Then the chocolate chips...give it a little stir (just a little one)...

Dip a cookie in the remnants of the butter you melted....


and add some food coloring


Then put it into a muffin pan. You can use muffin cups or just spray the pan. Or you could butter it. Then (and this is important to their rainbow-ness) Put lots more food coloring on top!


Then you stick it in the oven, and out comes this! It camouflages in nicely with this potholder, no?

See, wasn't that quick and painless?
yes, it was, you don't even have to tell me how easy it was
