      They are wonderful! Makes 12 muffins that don't drop when cooled. I may have mixed both the pumkin mix and cream cheese mix up too much, but it doesn't matter in the end. Just cook until the toothpick comes out clean. Also, make sure you bake in a oiled up custard cup anything left in the mixing bowls. It is a wonderful treat for the cook!

    We LOVED it! The only change I made was to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Breast meat is too dry for me. (For some reason I don’t seem to be able to rate this recipe but I give it 5 stars!
