Delicious and very moist! We halved the batter and got 4 Jumbo muffins which is perfect for our family of 3. The pumkin pie spice was a bit overwhelming and we would use half that amount next time. We substituted the marshmallow cream with cream cheese (personal preference) but if you like marshmallows, it sounds like an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing the recipe. :)

Canadian girl that loves to cook for herself and for everyone around her!! I always enjoyed cooking but more so since I started taking better care of myself by eating healthier food (I am a Weight Watchers Lifetime member!). I still love my chocolate though!
