These muffins are equally delicious with cold milk or hot coffee!

My mom has a recipe similar to this and they are out of this world. Yum, now I need to make some I think :)
ReplyDeleteI saw these on Gooseberry Patch and just had to try them. You know what? They were absolutely amazing, both with coffee and with milk and tea and....thank you. bless arlene Marie Pitts email carpediem5790@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThese look so yummy I can't resist. I decided that I wanna bake 48 of these muffins for my husband's staff. I'd like to know how long can the espresso spread last in the fridge? I made it last Friday and I intend to serve it with the muffins this coming Friday. Thanks in advance! :)
ReplyDeleteCath I would think the spread would be fine after a week. It should keep as long as any cream cheese based spread would.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I tried the spread yesterday and it's still okay. :)
ReplyDeleteIs the spread still good for consumption if it tastes sour?
ReplyDeleteNo, I definitely wouldn't eat or serve anything that tasted sour! We've always eaten ours up within a day or two. So good, it just doesn't last long at our house. :-)
ReplyDeleteHmm what a waste. I just baked more of these muffins and now the spread has gone bad :( thks anyways, Mrs H!
