These didn't turn out quite as nice as I expected. The muffins themselves were a little heavy. My fault for overbeating the battter? The filling tasted fantastic, but was not very thicky. Hubby ate several - he liked them more than I did. Sorry!

It was my first time at making Muffins. I have to admite I was making this recipe, saying to myself, this won't turn into muffins. But it did and lovely tasting muffins they turned out to be!!! The second time I made it I used 100 g Toblernoe. I also increased the amount of filling used to 1 tablespoon. Thanks for this easy and quick recipe(^__^)
