These were quick to stir up and tasted good. Due to the cheese in the mix, they stick to the muffin wrappers somewhat so you're sort of left with a small muffin...unless you're willing to scrape the paper muffin liner with a knife or your teeth or...I don't know what else you could use. lol All-in-all these were what I hoped for- quick, flavorful, and really easy to stir up.
