WHITE CHOCOLATE-MACADAMIA NUT MUFFINS



White Chocolate-Macadamia Nut Muffins image

There are plenty of sweets on site with the white chocolate-macadamia nut combination, but not one muffin could I find. These are terrific. Toasted coconut is added and what a natural affinity these three flavors have for each other! These are sweet muffins, perhaps more suitable for teatime than for breakfast, but we eat them any time of day. I got the recipe from "White Chocolate," a book by Janice Wald Henderson.
