Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Tartlets were Grandma's way of letting guests know they were special. For fudge tartlets, she cut the pie shell with a biscuit cutter and pressed the dough into greased muffin cups. She spooned the fudge filling into the shells until they were three-fourths full, swirled in a small amount of cream cheese mixture and baked the tartlets until set. She let them cool completely before removing them from the muffin cups. Tartlets may be frozen for up to 3 weeks.
