ooohhhh yummmmm maddy they look delicious.  Love maltesers!!!!

Rara I have just  made these and the taste is wonderful. The  mixture seems very stiff, is this correct? I did get distracted mid recipe. They are like a cakey/biscuit? As I said they taste lovely anyway, I was just a bit concerned as I thought I may have left the milk out. (I don't think so though). Mine look exactly the same as your photo.

Yes cookie the mixture is quite stiff and it tastes more like a cake.  Glad you like them.

These are wonderful,  thanks Rara.   I didn't have the correct tin so cooked them in what I had.  Made 45 little ones for the GC lunches.

These can be frozen too.

Does anyone have a tip to why my ice cream sets rock hard like ice? It tastes yum but difficalt to get out. My lastest ice cream made was EDC blueberry one. I used blueberries, frozen milk & cream, sugar. Tips please???

I use icy pole molds for excess icecream.  Less stress for me ;)

Hi CP, the muffin top is more like a flat cake, less doughy than a muffin.  Have I confused you yet :D
I have a kitchen hoarding/ need every new gadget syndrome (problem) so for me the muffin top pan was a necessity  ;D
In saying that my kids prefer muffin tops than actual muffins.

Hi Judy, this recipe I posted on the taste forum a year ago.
They are so easy to make and are requested by family members all the time.
My 4yr niece can't have dairy so I have also been able to successfully convert this without using dairy and refined sugar. I have found dairy free choc chips, used cacoa and agave.
Muffins can be frozen.

Rara's Triple Choc Muffin Tops - Makes 12

160g sr flour
150g plain flour
180g milk
100g raw sugar
2 eggs
70g light olive oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
25g cocoa
125g cadbury milk choc bits
125g cadbury dark choc bits

Pre heat oven 180c
Grease muffin top pan (purchased at woollies)
Place all ingredients except choc bits in TM and mix for 40 sec on speed 4-5.
Add choc bits and mix for 15 sec on speed 1 using spatula to incorporate choc bits.
Spoon into muffin top pan and cook for 10-12 min or until cooked. Do not over cook!
*You could use a muffin tin but will need to cook for around 20 min*

BE AWARE THESE ARE ADDICTIVE

My 4 yr niece can't have dairy so I have also been able to successfully convert this without using dairy and refined sugar. I have found dairy free choc chips, used cacoa and agave.
Muffins can be frozen. 
Would work using patty tins too. Just cook them for less time.

cookie1 - the taste is wonderful. The  mixture seems very stiff, is this correct? I did get distracted mid recipe. They are like a cakey/biscuit?

Chookie - These are wonderful,  thanks Rara.   I didn't have the correct tin so cooked them in what I had.  Made 45 little ones for the GC lunches. One of our favourites.


maddy - whipped some up tonight for a lunchbox treat for the kids. Only had half the choc chip amount, so subbed the rest with chopped up maltesers. Yum!

JD - They are excellent but I still find them too big for me - I'm happy with half of one as I am sure most of my visitors would be too. Thanks for the recipe Rara.

andiesenji -To get a thinner, flatter or muffin top of even thickness, use the back of a spoon, dipped in water, and swirl the batter out from the center so it is higher near the edges and there is a bit of a dip in the center. The center always rises more and this will allow a more even rise.  This doesn't work if the batter is very thin but for most muffin or cupcake batters, it works quite well.

CC - they are yummy,thanks Rara.
 
Johnro - These were a big hit yesterday when made - 2nd batch in oven now with white choc chips, so they are not quite rara's triple choc muffin tops - thanks Rara for again satisfying the choc addict in me!!!!!

Hally - so easy and yum. Next time might reduce chocolate chips and add macadamia nuts. A very easy and tasty recipe.

Dede - I just realized I have yet to leave a comment on these as I have made them several times now and they are always a hit with the kids. I am sure I will be making these for many years to come.

VieveMS - Wow, talk about super easy and quick.  I used my new funny face pans. Next time I'd do a better job of mixing in the choc chips as my first batch was definitely more chocolatey than my last batch.  Thanks for the recipe Rara.

O4aTimtam - boy those triple choc muffins are so decadent.

That I have been lurking this site for the past 18 months.
I have made many of the recipes (thanks to maddy, julieo, quirky, cookie, and others).
Love reading what everyone is cooking with their thermomix......gives me inspiration to try new recipes.
So I should thank you lovely ladies (& gents) for a fantastic forum.

Oooh forgot to mention that I have had my Mr T for about 18 months.
Could not and would not live without this incredible beast!!!
