These After Eight Triple Chocolate Muffins (Copycat Costa) are packed full of chocolate chunks, cocoa powder, and After Eight chocolates. These are mint thins, and you can (of course) use any brand you like. These are a fabulous treat, and are a slight copycat of a UK coffee chain – Costa Coffee. You may know by now, these are always some of my most popular recipes on my blog, and for good reason! These are so easy to make at home, and so much cheaper!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With any mint chocolate recipe, you have a choice whether to add peppermint extract. I add just a touch to the actual muffin recipe, then I use some in the icing too. This is optional, but fabulous if you’re a mega fan of mint chocolate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any muffin recipe, we keep moisture high and stirring low for the best texture. Feel free to add fruit, nuts or chocolate chips, but I\u2019m not convinced they need it! These will keep for a few days in an airtight container, making them a great grab and go breakfast or lunchbox snack. That said, eating them warm not long out of the oven is an unrivalled experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend using only a wooden spoon to mix the muffin batter, and you\u2019ll only need one bowl. I weigh everything directly into one large mixing bowl (a Pyrex one<\/a>\u00a0is a great choice for most baking recipes). Ensure the butter has cooled a little before adding to prevent the eggs from cooking. These muffins are super lemony without being sour, and are helped along by the addition of a little glaze on top.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
