Mass-produced food, especially for giant events like the Olympics, never has much of a stellar reputation.
This Norwegian swimmer has become obsessed with one thing (when he’s not swimming): chocolate muffins.
They look damn delightful.

You never like to see cheating at the Olympics, but these are desperate times.
And you’re able to too.
The defining factors are a chocolate muffin with chocolate chunks on top and a chocolate ganache center.
Store-bought muffin mix yields a soft and consistent product, and its pretty hard to screw up.
Make the muffins as directed by the package.
Scoop them into the muffin liners.
Top them with chocolate chunks
Tap three to five chocolate chunks onto the top of each muffin.
Aim to be off-center because well be cutting into it later to fill it with chocolate ganache.
Bake the muffins according to the directions on the box.
Make ganache
When the muffins are out of the oven and cooling, make the ganache.
For five or six muffins, you dont need much.
I used two ounces of cream and 2.5 ounces of chocolate chunks.
Microwave a quarter-cup of heavy cream for 20 to 30 seconds, or until steaming.
Pour in a third-cup of the Toll House chocolate chunks and let it sit for two minutes to soften.
Put a spoonful of ganache into the cavity.
The boxed mix will never fail at delivering a tender muffin.
Theyre simple to make and perfect for your next Olympics watch party.
Pretending to be an Olympian has never been easier.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me so I could get this far.
I owe it all to my village.
Thank you so much.
Preheat the oven according to the directions on the muffin mix.
Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
Mix the muffin mix as directed on the package.
Place the batter in the muffin cups and place three to five chocolate chunks on top of each muffin.
Once the muffins are baked and cooling, you’ve got the option to make the chocolate ganache.
Heat up the heavy cream in a microwave-safe measuring cup.
This only takes about 30 seconds to begin steam.
Pour in the chocolate chunks and let it sit as-is for two minutes.
Pop it into the fridge to firm up for about 20 minutes.
When the muffins are cool, cut a small hole out of the center with a paring knife.
Fill it with a spoonful of ganache.
Enjoy these muffins while watching your next big competition.
