These came out great. I was a little nervous at first since the dough seemed a bit on the "gummy" side, like it had too much flour, but the end result is almost perfect. The muffins are light, fluffy and have the right amount of chocolate in them. I'll make these again.

I made a half batch of these to use up some cream cheese, but did use a whole egg which may be why my batter wasn't as thick as other reviewers have found it to be. I also used milk instead of cream as my cream had spoiled. My daughter and her boyfriend seemed to love them. Thanks Eggy.

These muffins were more like cookies to me because they turned out more crunchy than moist. Tastes good though! Not too sweet.

These muffins are FANTASTIC! I made a couple modifications based on other reviews...and here's what I came up with: (By the way, I doubled the recipe) I used 3 cups of flour, 1 cup of white sugar, and 1 cup of brown sugar. All other ingredients were just as the recipe calls for. I was concerned at first because the batter was very, very thick...but they turned out wonderful. I took these in to work as a birthday treat for my co-workers and they would not stop raving about them!

Delicious! I added a little more sugar for flavor and 1/2 a cup of chocolate chips instead of 1/3 cup.

I've made this recipe several times now. First the consistency of the batter is more like cookie dough than muffin batter. Next, I usually get 24 muffins as opposed to 12. This decreases the cooking time to 14~15 minutes. While they aren't as big as the ones in the picture, they still peak over the tops of the muffin cups. Next, I've found that adding the egg to the butter/cream cheese mixture without the cream works best for overall homologous mixture. Also, 1/3 cup of chocolate chips..ppphhht! I add a full cup. I love these, they keep well for an entire week in a loose-fit container.

I was looking for a strawberry cream cheese muffin. Didn't find one specifically so I decided to modify this one a bit. I didn't have cream so I used 1% milk, I used brown sugar instead of white as others had suggested and last I used about 1 1/4 diced strawberries instead of chocolate chips. Before I added the strawberries I thought the batter looked a little too thick, but after I added them it moistened up nicely. I will make these again, but next time I will smash the strawberries & add a little white sugar to them to sweeten the muffin up a little more. I'm sure they would have been sweeter with the chocolate chips. One other thing I baked them at 350 vs 400. I think 400 is too hot when you are baking. Only 4 stars because I think the batter would have been too thick w/o the strawberries.

I'm the baker of the house, this was my first muffin recipe. I tried this recipe recently and I added more milk because the batter was to thick, my dad didn't like them. He didn't say that but he only ate one, (he loves sweets! :D) so that they that was sign that they weren't good. They were not sweet enough, and just tasted weird and they tasted worse the next day!!!!! Maybe i did something wrong...

Unfortunately, I am quite disappointed in this recipe. The batter was very dry, despite adding more milk. I personally didn't care for the taste, though both my husband and daughter enjoyed it. I will make again-but only for them.
