These are great! The recipe came together easily. I made 16, filled to the top, muffins and still had batter left, so I was able to make 18 mini muffins! There wasn't enough topping for the mini muffins, but they still taste fantastic. These are a definite keeper. I can't wait for my in-laws to come visit next month so I can make them again. Thanks for the recipe.
