I made these little guys for my son's Christmas breakfast along with recipe #125650 Sunship Mini Muffins. The children liked these but liked the other recipe a bit better. I liked these as they were not to sweet but I thought they were a little dry maybe next time I will add a little more butter as I subbed butter for the shortening and add a little more vanilla or use brown sugar in place of the white sugar. I like the recipe a lot and will probable make again, I doubled the recipe and made about 40 mini muffings. Thank you for the recipe.

These were good and great for a nice afternoon snack. Like the previous reviewed, I used 1/4 cup of softened butter instead of the shortening, and I also used almost a full cup of mini-chocolate chips, though I think 2/3 cup would have been plenty because mine were very chocolatey! They were quick and easy to put together and we all enjoyed them, but I'm giving them four stars because there wasn't anything really special about them, no "wow" factor that really made them stand out, and the flavor really wasn't very strong...these could have been sweeter. Still though, I'll make them again.

Have tried many mini muffin recipes and none were quite right. Made these this morning. I substituted butter for shortening as I didn't have shortening. I softened the butter (not melted), and creamed with the sugar. These muffins came out perfect! They were slightly crisp on the top and soft and chocolaty in the middle. All that you want in a muffin, bitesize!
