As a flavour pairing, it doesn’t get much better than?the orange chocolate flavours
of the Jaffa, which we’ve recreated in these delicious? **Choc Orange Muffins**.
We like them because the chocolate is far from overwhelming, they’re tangy, soft
and super moreish, just like a good muffin should be!
