MINI CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY NUT CUPS

If chocolate is not completely melted, return bowl to microwave and continue to heat on High at 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until chocolate is completely melted.
• Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate mixture into 12 foil-lined candy cups, filled about ¾ full. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the individual desserts to "set".
• Optional: Garnish each with a fresh raspberry or fresh chocolate shavings for added appeal.

MINI CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY PHYLLO TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the pastry shells: Use a pastry brush to brush one sheet of phyllo with melted butter. Top with another sheet and brush with butter and repeat for a total of 4 layers. Top with the remaining sheet of phyllo but do not brush the top with butter.
• Use the remaining melted butter to brush the insides of 6 cups of a standard 12-cup muffin pan, leaving every other cup empty.
• Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the stack of phyllo sheets into 6 squares, each about 4-by-4 inches. Ease each square into a buttered muffin cup, pressing gently to line the cup and allowing the edges to fold in. Refrigerate while you make the batter.
• For the batter: Microwave the chocolate chips and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth, about 60 seconds. Whisk in the sugar, vanilla and salt. Whisk in the egg until smooth, then whisk the mixture vigorously for 20 seconds. Whisk in the almond flour until combined.
