I made these, used real brown sugar, only 1/2 cup, and 1% milk, and only 1/2 c. of choc. chips. Chips were 60% cacao and the cocoa powder was hersehy's dark. I made 15 muffins, which, with the changes I made, came out to 119 per muffin. They were very good! Dense, moist, dark chocolate, not too swee - 3/14/08

The chcolate lovers in the family liked these very much. They're not too sweet, and definitely have a dark chocolate taste. I used 1/2 cup brown sugar instead of the Splenda, 1 egg instead of the egg whites, and only 1/2 cup Ghirardelli chips. I calculated a decrease per muffin of 50 calories. - 2/3/09
