"I have made these the last 4-5 years at Christmas time for a real special treat! I agree completely that it is time consuming,pricey,huge amounts and a bit messy.BUT they are WELL worth it! It's not christmas without them. The hint of citrus is a perfect accent. I love the idea of heavy duty foil someone suggested earlier. I'm making them tomorrow""

"I made these for a baby shower and they were the most popular item amongst LOTS of great options. Warning: Don't overbake! I think I left them in 2 minutes too long,a little dry.They would have been 5 stars if moister.I took them out early but my oven runs hot.Also don't skimp on the frosting. I was trying to guess on the early muffins and didn't want to run out so 1/2 the muffins were a little light on frosting. The other half that I felt confidant I had enough frosting had a "perfect bite" ratio.Don't be shy w/ your hot sauce.Give it the full TBLSP. It needs the zip. This went into the "keeper" file. I will make this again for sure, a real crowd pleaser and pretty easy. I used the big star tip on a pastry bag and it looks very special for the guests but was easy. I am crazy for this program. I just found him from this recipe and can't figure out why I never tuned in before. FUNNY!!
