Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons Crunch Topping on top of each muffin. Microwave on high (full power) for 2 1/2-3 1/2 minutes, turning 1/4 turn at end of each minute, or until cake tester comes out clean. (Tops may still appear moist.) Let stand several minutes. (Moist spots will disappear upon standing.) Repeat cooking procedure with remaining batter. Serve warm.
