made these the kids liked them, but they was very runny before cooked and stuck to muffin tins and they was greased so I think it needs 1 to 1/2 cups of flour not just 1/2 cup.

Amazingly decadent! I had used 3/4 cup of mint crisp chocolate chopped. Folowed the recipe to the T except I 1/2ed the recipe and I put 1/2 a tsp of vanallin in Big mistake the result was a slight bitter after taste, next time will put vanilla essence or leave it out all together. I baked them in mini muffin tins for 10 mins Made 18.

We liked them too. I gave the recipe to my sister who made them for her best firend's b-day. Karin got them along with the recipe and a brand new muffin pan.
