This afternoon we chose the ‘Betty Crocker’ Chocolate Chunk Muffin Mix for our baking adventure today, and added our own variation with chopped marshmallows for some lovely, sticky, chocolatey, gooey fun!
As usual, James carefully added the dry mix into the mixing bowl, followed by the water, vegetable oil, and an egg, before giving everything a thoroughly good stir with the wooden spoon. Then James enjoyed giving everything a good mix with the electric whisk too!
James then placed 6 muffin/cupcake cases on the baking tray, making sure they were all sat properly in their places, we spooned out full-measures and have big muffins!
James then send Dad out to the kitchen with the muffins to put them in the oven, which was a Dad job anyway as the oven is ‘Hot! Hot! Hot!’.
We then had the hard job of waiting for about 18 minutes until the muffins were ready to take out of the oven to cool on the wire rack! They oozed melting marshmallow, smelled delicious, and we are looking forward to eating them!
