These are yummy muffins. I love the full chocolate flavor, with a hint of Baileys, without it tasting too sweet like a cupcake. The only change that I made was to double the cream cheese filling to make more filling available for each muffin. Next time, I may try adding a little more Baileys to the muffin mix to heighten the flavor a little more. Made for PAC spring 2008.

It cooked very nicely. I let the butter cool down too much before I added the dry ingredients, which made the batter very thick. I was able to counteract that with another egg. The cream cheese gives it a slightly tart flavor, which may taste strange to you, but I loved it! It makes a very soft muffin.
