Sharon Wilkins of Grande Pointe, Ontario says, I often take these bite-size chocolate goodies to potluck dinners for our country dance club. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
filling: |
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional |
maraschino cherry halves, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Shape into 1-in. balls. Place in ungreased miniature muffin cups; press onto the bottom and up the sides to form a shell.
3. For filling, in a microwave, melt chocolate chips and butter; stir until smooth. Stir in the sugar, egg and vanilla. Add the pecans if desired. Spoon into shells.
4. Bake at 325° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Garnish with cherries if desired. Yield: 2 dozen.
