This are chock full of goodness! I used almonds and half white half semi sweet choc, and made them mini muffins - they cooked in about 15 mins. Love the cranberry and choc. together. Made for the Comfort Cafe July 09

These are ingredients that I don't usually have on hand. I was able to get just what I needed at the bulk food bins at the grocery store. I am glad I made these. There is a great blend of flavors and textures in these muffins. Made for Summer Comfort Cafe.
