Melt the butter and stir in the milk. Leave to one side.
Mix the flour, cocoa powder, vanilla sugar, baking powder, salt and chopped chocolate in a bowl.
Beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy. Carefully fold in the flour mixture and finally the butter and milk mixture. Stir to make a smooth batter.
Fill muffin tins two-thirds full with the batter and bake in the middle of the oven for about 20 minutes. Leave to cool completely at room temperature.
