Heat oven to 375. Combine 2/3 cup chocolate chips and butter in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth (5 to 7 minutes). Pour into medium bowl; cool 5 minutes.

Stir sugar, eggs and vanilla into chocolate mixture. Gradually stir in flour until smooth.

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Remove from oven; immediately press one of the desired fillings into center of each tart.
Marshmallow - press 3 mini marshmallows into each tart.
Cherry - press 1 maraschino cherry into each tart.
Double Chocolate - press 1 unwrapped milk or white chocolate candy kiss upside down into tart.
Mint - put unwrapped chocolate-covered soft-filled mint pattie cut into quarters; press 2 quarters into each tart.
Continue baking 2 minutes. Cool 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine all glaze ingredients in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth (2 to 3 minutes).

Top each tart with about 1 teaspoon fudge glaze. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to set glaze. Store at room temperature in airtight containers up to 3 days.

Recipe Tip: Tarts can be made ahead and frozen up to 2 months. Cool completely. Store in airtight containers between sheets of waxed paper.

Recipe Tip: Refrigerate remaining hot fudge glaze as ice cream or dessert topping.
