These are wonderful, rich and indulgent muffins - I originally got the recipe from Taste of Home. I agree that they make a great "dessert" as I feel guilty if I serve them for breakfast. It is a frequent request by my children for their birthday breakfast, when they get to have anything they choose. It is usually this or chocolate chip pancakes! Thanks for posting! : )

These are WONDERFUL--just be sure to get those cookies chopped enough--or the big chunks are a bit surprising when you bite into 'em. I skipped the glaze part--figured they were already 'enough' without it. Seem a bit indulgent for breakfast, we had them as a "dessert" after supper. The kids would eat 'em ANY time!!! Thanks for a great recipe!
