Chocolate n Butterscotch Chip Muffins

It's been many many days since my last post and I have really missed my kitchen. I'm happy to be reunited with it :)  It was just one of those times when you get occupied with so many things that baking just takes a backseat...But finally yesterday I could take it no more and just had to bake something. And obviously at such times, when nothing makes much sense, only the goodness of chocolate will do. It was time to make some chocolate chip muffins!
