STRAWBERRY CREAM TARTS AU CHOCOLATE

Category: Recipes

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup chocolate chips
50 Nila Wafers -- finely rolled (about 2 cups crumbs)
1 pint small strawberries -- sliced (you can substitute canned fruit)
1/4 cup sugar
6 oz Cream Cheese -- softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Mint Sprigs for garnish

In medium saucepan, over medium heat, heat butter, corn syrup and chocolate chips until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth; remove from heat. Stir in wafer crumbs.

While crumb mixture is still warm, divide evenly among 12 (2 1/2 inch) muffin pan cups; press against bottoms and sides of cups; chill 15 minutes.

Carefully remove from pan; chill until ready to fill. In medium bowl, stir together strawberry slices and sugar; set aside.

In small bowl, beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar. Fill each tart shell with cream cheese mixture; top with strawberry slices. Garnish with mint springs if desired.

Serve immediately or chill up to two hours before serving.
