FAQs
How long are chocolate caramel muffins good for?
I recommend keeping these muffins stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 or 4 days. Keeping them in the fridge is fine for up to a week but the cold air can cause the muffins to dry out as a result.
Can I use a different coffee creamer?
Absolutely! If you cant find the international delight coffee creamer flavor requested you can always opt for a different caramel flavored coffee creamer even if it is from a different brand. Other flavored creamers will work too but you really want to use something that pairs nicely with the chocolate and caramel that we have going on.

Boy does that sound familiar! My friends and I (also in high school) used to go hang out in Starbucks and think we were SO cool for ordering super caffeinated drinks that really only made us jittery haha. Now as a college student I actually need the coffee to survive, which means I sure as heck can’t afford to buy it all the time. As much as I love my instant coffee (not so much) I think these muffins look a zillion times better. Sure they don’t have any real caffeine in them, but I think the awesomeness might do something to wake me up!
