Preliminary results of muffin flavor trial:
I thought I would like: 1 cup semi-sweet chips + 1/2 cup cinnamon chips + 1/2 cup butterscotch chips. I was wrong. Didn't like the flavor at all - the butterscotch fought with the chocolate and the cinnamon.
Next try: 1 cup semi + 1/2 cup 60% + 1/2 cup cinnamon = just not quite right.
Last try: 1 1/2 cup semi + 1/2 cup 60% + 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon + 1/8 tsp espresso powder = exceptional!!! I really like the chocolate/cinnamon-y richness of the muffins. The espresso adds depth of flavor, and you don't really taste the coffee.
