If you love the combination of chocolate and cherries,then these are the muffins for you.I didn't even sprinkle the tops with the extra 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and they were still full of chocolate.My family enjoyed the Valetines Day morning.Very delicious. -
Made these for a surprise addition to my husbands lunchbox for Valentines Day. Just had to try one first though! Really chocolatey and the added cherries make them delish. Thanks for posting. -
These were incredible! I was very happy with these muffins and I will make them again and again!!! I used a 6 large muffin pan instead of a 12 small muffin pan. I increased the time by 5 minutes. I also used chunks of chocolate since i did not have chips. This was so good Marg!!! Thank you!!!!! -
Hey Marg, I wish I could give this recipe more than 1 star, but I was a bit disappointed as to how these muffins turned out. I thought the recipe had waaay too many chocolate chips in it to begin with, so I didn't top each muffin with the remaining chips, and I thought the 1/2 cup of chopped cherries wasn't enough, so I added all the cherries from one 10 oz. jar. When it came to mixing the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, I thought the batter was too dry, so I added an extra 1/4 cup of milk, but still the end results were...the muffins were still a bit too dry, and would crumble very easily. Marg, I'm sorry I couldn't give this recipe more stars, but I am glad to see that others here enjoyed the muffins. -
Made these for school lunches so in the freezer they go. Also I used chopped maraschino cherries a that is the kids favourite. Made into 34 mini muffins, two bite size. Nice simple fast recipe, I will make these again, has all pantry items that I always have on hand.

Tastes just like a chocolate covered cherry. I only used 1 cup of chocolate chips and I subbed applesauce instead of oil. I'd have liked a few more cherries but these were great.
