    My family and I love this recipe. I'm not a big fan of cherry anything but this was good. I added some chopped pecans to the topping to go along with the almonds. The pecans added a pleasant flavor to it.

    The flavor was good, but mine fell in the middle like everyone else.

    I watched Sandra make these this morning. She made 18 muffins, as per recipe. They came out perfectly, not overfilled, overflowed, underdone, or sunken in the middle. Don't know if this is a corrected recipe, but 12 is apparently not the number.

    I didn't have a white cake mix so used chocolate with black raspberry jam. Omitted topping and threw in some chocolate chips for (18 delicious little snack cake muffins. Since I had to punt I can't say I'm reviewing this exact recipe, but it turns out to be a good concept.

    They taste so great! I'm making a double recipe to a group tonight and it was an easy recipe to double. Next time I think I might cut back on the sugar in the topping and just add half of a real cherry face down. It's VERY sweet and that might balance it out with a little tangy flavor.

    But all in all, I will use it again! Thanks :

    I think the muffins were good but the topping remained all floury. I think I will try this recipe again but without the topping and that should make it better.

    Very tasty. Pronounced almond flavor-not much cherry. But as other readers noted, they fell in the middle and were tins overfilled if making 12. Would try again putting less in tins...anyone else come up with a solution for the cave ine?

    My daughter doesn't like Cherries, so I used Orange Marmalade for the cherry preserves and added 1 cup of mini chocolate chips. I too, must have overfilled my muffin cups, as they ran over, and sank in the middle as well. The tops themselves were lovely, with a yummy orange/chocolatey/almond goodness my daughter enjoyed. However the middles were a little underdone (which kids love anyway, it's like batter, but the adults in the house weren't too thrilled with it. I made 12 muffins and had enough batter to make more, but the first 12 came out so icky that I dumped the rest of the batter in the garbage disposal. I will not try this again, I will use my old stand-by recipe, that I KNOW works and that my daughter loves. This is definitely not keeper in my family.
