Doctored Cake Mix Recipes

I love to mix and match these muffins with different toppings with one box of cake mix.

I can 24 muffins with this recipe and make an assortment of toppings that makes each one not only different but please a whole crowd wherever I bring them.

Although the maple bacon glazed and the crumb topping is the favorite of all mango muffins asked for, I always leave some plain for those picky eaters, hopefully, you know what I mean there's always one in the bunch!

Also, I always keep the nut topped ones away from any other in a separate container for those with allergies, just another helpful tip.
