Tips:
- For a sweeter muffin melt, use a sweeter variety of pineapple, such as golden pineapple.
- For a tangier muffin melt, use a tarter variety of pineapple, such as Queen Victoria pineapple.

- Be careful not to overfill the muffin cups, or the muffin melts will overflow. Fill each cup no more than 2/3 full.
