These muffins were a disaster! The filling curdled and the muffins never rose. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be trying this recipe again.

I had some trouble with the recipe. The muffin batter was too thick and the filling was too runny. I ended up having to adjust the ingredients and the baking time.

I thought these muffins were just okay. The filling was a little too sweet for my taste, and the muffin part was a bit dry.

I'm not a huge fan of butter tarts, but I really enjoyed these muffins. The muffin part was light and fluffy, and the filling was just the right amount of sweetness.

I love that these muffins can be made ahead of time and frozen. It's so convenient to be able to just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.

I've made butter tarts before, but this was my first time making them in muffin form. I'm so glad I tried it! The muffins were so much easier to eat than traditional butter tarts, and they were just as delicious.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy these muffins were to make. I was expecting them to be more labor-intensive, but they came together in no time. The results were well worth the effort though! The muffins were delicious and disappeared quickly.

These butter tart muffins were a delightful treat! The combination of the buttery, sweet filling and the tender muffin was perfect. I loved the little pockets of gooey caramel that formed in the center of each muffin. I will definitely be making thes
