Milo Chocolate Muffins with English Toffee Bits


Sticky, chewy, crunchy are not just for candies or sweets ! You can rejuvenate them into little cakes as well. And here’s how I did them ! I was so worried initially when I first looked at the muffins and was thinking… Gosh, they have to go into the dustbin.. but I decided to give them a try nevertheless and surprisingly, they aren’t that bad after all. All because of the ugly outlook that presents a crusty top with some sticky caramelized candy being melt into them. After all, they are a huge deviation from the standard muffins and the first look might just turn you off, like what they did to me ! But I am glad I never give up on them still ! Hahaha !!

Here’s how you eat these muffins. The top layer – a thin layer of crusty top (best when it’s still slightly warm), with a rich milo-chocolately middle cake and extra crunch from the milk chocolate coated English toffee bits that are generously sprinkled. The milo milk reduces the bitterness of the chocolate slightly and the toffee bits added some sweetness. When the muffins have cooled down, the toffee bits hardened slightly and provided a sweet crunchy and nutty aftertaste.
