Those are SO totally cute! I am absolutely going to steal that idea! How many "muffins" does one batch make?

This recipe makes 8 & I made these in mini tart pans. I've made these into hearts, squares, and plain circles too! For a more festive look I have been known to drizzle white chocolate over them!

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
