Pillsbury has decided to get in on the Olympic Games' love for muffins with the introduction of their own Chocolate Chunk Muffin Batter. As you may recall, one of the more interesting stories to come out of the Olympics that had nothing to do with the competitions was the super chocolate muffins they were serving the athletes at the Olympic Village. To the point where it was going viral on TikTok, from a few different perspectives. So the company decided to get in on the action with their own version of a chocolate chunk muffin with easy-to-make batter, same as they've done with other types of muffins. Is it an exact copy of what they made in Paris? No. Is this clearly an attempt to get in on people's love for muffins in the past month? Yes. Hopefully, they make an all-chocolate version soon that at least resembles the one from France. For now, here's their rundown of the new flavor as its available now.
