Creamy Chocolate Tartlets
Pies, Cakes & Tarts
Prep time:
25 minutesCooking time:
none“Gourmet chocolate chip cookies are not mandatory for these tartlet shells. So purchase inexpensive chocolate chip cookies, such as the store-brand, and crush into crumbs to save money.”
Ingredients
Serves 8
- 16 (about 6 ounces) chocolate chip cookies
- 4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick) margarine, melted
- 6 (1 1/2-ounce) chocolate candy bars with almonds
- 12 ounces whipped topping, divided
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted, divided
Directions
1
Crush cookies into crumbs. Combine crumbs and margarine in a large bowl; press into 8 tartlet pans. Freeze for 10 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, microwave chocolate bars in a medium bowl, stirring every 2 minutes, until nearly melted, about 8 minutes. Remove and stir until completely melted. Cool for 5 minutes.
3
Stir 8 ounces whipped topping and 1/4 cup slivered almonds into melted chocolate. Spoon chocolate mixture into tartlet shells.
4
Place a dollop of remaining whipped topping on each tartlet. Sprinkle remaining almonds over top.

To save cleanup time and to make these scrumptious tartlets portable, use paper muffin cup liners in the tartlet pans.

Ground chicken may often be unavailable or a bit too expensive at the supermarket. Look for ground turkey, which is usually less costly and more widely obtainable.
