Fudge Muffins

The idea for these muffins came about when someone mentioned chocolate fudge and Mum got a craving for it but then decided it would yummy in muffin form instead.
These fudge muffins are moist, crumbly and very rich. While Mum used granulated peanuts because thats what she puts in fudge, chopped pecans would be lovely too.
