I love finding good recipes to use in my mini muffin pans! This is so good and easy too! I used a basic pastry recipe, then used an entire 6 oz. bag of chips increasing the butter to nearly 3 T. The 1/2 cup did not seem to be enough filling to make 24 cups. The amount I made was just about right, but I did fill the cups full. These are great with a hot cup of coffee! Thanks for a great recipe evelyn/athens.
