Ingredients:

Method
1. Preheat the oven. Put the margarine & sugar in your bowl and beat until really nice, light and fluffy.
2. In one of your smaller bowls whisk together the eggs and milk. In the other smaller bowl sieve the flour and cocoa powder.
3. Now add a little of the egg mixture and a little of the flour mixture into the margarine & sugar. Mix & keep adding a little bit of each until it is all used up.
4. Spoon your mixture into the silicone bun tray (no need to grease) or into your paper cases if you are using them.
5. Break the chocolate into 6 squares and add one square to each bun, making sure you squash it into the middle!
6. Stand your silicone bun tray on a baking tray for support. Get your grown up helper to put the tray of muffins into the oven for you and bake for 15-18 minutes until well risen
