Big Bad Costco Chocolate Muffins

This recipe comes from my friend Mindy. I'm so excited to try these because let's be honest... who doesn't like Costco chocolate muffins.


1 Devils food cake mix
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding
3/4 cup vanilla yogurt (I have also used plain)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup oil
3 eggs
2 cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 400 degrees (maybe my oven is just too hot, but 400 was burning mine so just keep an eye on them, next time I will probably do them either rat 350 or 375). Lightly grease muffin pan (this makes about 20 muffins) or use muffin liners. Set aside. In a mixing bowl combine cake mix and pudding mix. In a separate bowl combine yogurt, water, oil, and eggs. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Fill muffin tins about 3/4 full. Bake 20 -22 minutes or until center springs back. Cool on wire rack. These muffins will store for a couple of days, if you can avoid eating them that long.

***UPDATE***

So I (AmyLyn) made these on 8/13/09 and they are to die for. So yummy!! They are so easy to make so I probably won't be buying any at costco anytime soon. You have to try them and let me know how they go :)
