Sounded devine but was sadly disappointed. Muffins were dry & bland. Glaze was really yum though so will try it on another recipe.

Oh Kay, were these muffins were delicious! I made these today, and what a hit with my family, everyone just loved them. They rose just wonderful, with a nice muffin texture. I used half and half cream instead of milk, I think I gives a better texture to baked goods. I didn't have any vanilla chips on hand, so I chopped up some white baking chocolate instead. the caramel glaze is simply to die for. I got 14 muffins out of this recipe. I will be making these again (this weekend!) my, son has already put in his request! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful muffin recipe Kay, we loved them!....Kitten :)
