We had company last night and I made the recipe below. I started them at 4:30 PM our company arrived at 5:00 PM, they had no clue that I had baked together my little ‘chocolate chip tarts’ just before they came. I served them for dessert and they were oohed and aahed over!
Novice and experienced bakes alike will enjoy these incredibly sumptuous recipes, and this will become one of your favorite resources in your cookbook arsenal.
