These were simple to make and were a huge hit with chili. Next time, I'll double the amount of cayanne pepper to give the muffins a kick, or I'll use hot instead of mild jelly. I'll be making this again and again.

We absolutely loved these with our chili! The jam layer in the middle was a real winner. I actually made this in a baking pan and the baking time seemed to be just the same as for individual muffins.
