I have done that before. The bad part is having to thaw it out so you can toast them. These are semi-split with rods so you have to rip them apart. They are fairly rough and sometimes kinda ugly and lopsided with cornmeal on one side i.e., the look like a product made by hand, not a machine. My guess is that you got some great muffins in England but in the US, most of the stuff is stamped out with cookie cutters or some such nonsense.
