This recipe is an old-time favorite that I've modified over the years depending on whether I served them for breakfast, a snack or as dessert. I love chocolate in any form, and these muffins pair it with coconut for a yummy result. -Carol Wilson, Rio Rancho, New Mexico

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but these muffins were still really good. The macaroon topping is the star of the show.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try them again with less sugar next time.
