  • 3 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, cut into pieces

Fit rounds into 16 ungreased regular-size muffin cups, pressing in gently; prick sides and bottom with fork.

Beat in cooled chocolate and vanilla until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on high speed 2 minutes after each addition; beat until mixture is smooth and fluffy.
