  Great muffins. Used Rolo chocolate toffees. Left out almonds. Really moist. My 1 year old daughter just loved them. An excellent recipe.

  I've just made these with my7 year old and they are yummy. We used 2 cooked apples instead of pears and 3 packets of Mars Planets instead of toffees. We'll definitely make them again.

  They taste lovely and were easy to make. Anyone any suggestion on how to stop muffins sticking to the paper though?

  To caromann - get some silicone muffin cases! they are brill - totally non-stick, washable and re-useable. No more will half the muffin stick to the case!

  Does anyone know if you can make these as fairy cakes instead of muffins? I have some overripe pears to use up tonight and the shop up the road doesnt have any muffin cases, but i do have fairy cake cases.

  i just put them in the oven and pray that they don't stick, because other ones I made sticked to the paper cups. I put apples in because I didn't have pears. I just put some almonds on them, very fast because they were already in the oven, it looks so nice with almonds. Hope they taste good!!

  yes, they do A LOT!! Why is that! And it looks like all of the butter is baked out, dripping a lot!! But they taste great, so I want to have another go at it when I get tips for the sticking and the butter.

  Lovely and moist! Used chocolate covered toffee Poppets which worked well...sort of. Ok while the cakes were still warm as the toffee was gooey, but as soon as cooled down the toffees turn into bullets!! Would try rolos next time as recommended.

  Lovely muffins, keep an eye on them as toffee can burn if on the surface.
