Using a large mixing bowl, combine cocoa powder and baking powder and mix. Add boiling water and mix. Add melted butter and vanilla and mix well, until there are no lumps. Dump in sugar, keep mixing! Stir in eggs and mix until no yolk is showing. Add flour and salt and mix until all the ingredients are combined. Stir in chocolate chips! Don’t forget to mix! We always add in more chips because more chocolate=more goodness!
Pour batter into a paper lined muffin pan filling 3/4 of the way full. Sprinkle sugar on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, then check muffins with a toothpick.
If the toothpick comes out mostly clean then the muffins are done! Do not over bake. Let cool for 5 minutes and eat quickly because they won’t last!
