Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Tarts image

We love the flavors of chocolate and peanut butter and this tart gives us the best of both. This is fun for the whole family to make. If you make it in a tart pan, it's an upscale dessert. If you make it in a pizza pan, it's a great dessert for a pizza meal! -Susan Marshall, Colorado Springs, Colorado
