- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs

- Spoon a tablespoon of muffin batter into each muffin cup.
- Place a frozen chocolate center in the middle of the batter.
- Top with more muffin batter, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.
