Intro
Saturdays after shopping it out treat time, and on most Saturdays that involves a buy from ASDA's rather good bakery department. Firstly because that is where we do our weekly shop and secondly because after experiencing some of their bakery wares we have found them to be of great value and quality.


Chocolate Muffins

ASDA don't just do muffins in a variety of flavours they do all kinds of cakes and we tend to swap around every so often. I do like it however when it is muffin day, and I'm not honestly that fussed as to which flavour we get although if forced to choose chocolate would be high up there.
At £1.14 roughly for the four muffins the value is exceptional in comparison to other muffins currently available in a wide choice of stores. The four large muffins sit proud in the plastic tray, which has apparently been specially moulded to fit the monsters. Apart from size the packaging is very basic and I guess that is reflected in the price, nothing fancy just a good plastic tray and a plastic bag to caver it. Add a label and four muffins and voila.

On open the sealed bag the whiff of chocolate hits you smack in the gob, and you are anticipating the next few minutes when you are going to be devouring these chocolate mountains. At 3 - inches high they are already big but then consider the diameter of about the same then you have one huge muffin.
They are dark, dark brown in colour, which gives the indication of lots of chocolate flavour to come. The top is crackled and moist and overflows the cake case, which houses the whole muffin. Removing the cake case reveals a soft spongy chocolate muffin, which smells a looks divine. In the interest of not making a mess I usually break a piece of instead of trying to take a bite of the large cake.

A rather large chunk in hand it is time to see if all the anticipation was indeed warranted. Soft and springy, with the moist top I placed a piece into my mouth. There were piece of real chocolate dancing with the sponge so my tongue decided it was going to dance to. In turn my taste buds joined in and there was a chocolate party erupting in my mouth. I wasn't complaining though the mingling of real chocolate, chocolate muffin and the sticky moist top was pure perfection. Everything was chocolate, and my taste buds and tongue were having an absolute ball.
Another bite kept the party going and so it was until the huge dark monster had been consumed, I did consider having another muffin but decide one was suffice being that they are big. I might have managed to eat two but it think all that sponge and chocolate on my tongue would have been just a little too much.


Summary

At just of 23p per muffin the value speaks for itself, as to the quality and taste it took ages for the party in my mouth to stop. Delicious is a very over used word in the cake world but these muffins are most definitely IT. If chocolate isn't your bag man then the Blueberry ones are equally as delightful.
