When I finished making the dough for the shell, I thought, "You can't make a very tasty crust with just flour, butter, and cream cheese." I tasted it, and it sucked. So I added about 1/2 cup sugar. Much better. I also had to add a couple sprinklings of water in order for it to actually make a dough that I could form into balls. The finished product tastes pretty good, but because it wasn't easy to shape the dough into shells and spoon the chocolate into them without getting chocolate everywhere, mine turned out pretty ugly. Next time I might use a plastic bag or pastry bag to pipe the chocolate into the shells. I also sprinkled crushed peppermint candies on top of them halfway through the baking time, instead of using a cherry on top. All in all, these were pretty average. Fairly tasty, not too pretty, and needed some adjusting.

I followed the recipe and the crust turned out great. If you chill it like the recipe recommends it is easy to work with. I made these this weekend and everyone loved them and wanted the recipe! Thanks!

I was very impressed with this recipe....it actually tastes like a chewy fudgy brownie in a mini pie form. My variation was to skip the cherry and to top them off with toasted coconut and drizzled with caramel. I had no problems working with the dough unlike a previous user and I disagree with the idea of needing sugar in the crust, it is supposed to be like a pie crust and you don't put sugar in a pie crust. My only problem with this recipe is that it doesn't make nearly as many servings as it claims to. I was able to get just 18 small servings out of the recipe. I look forward to making this again and trying out new variations!

I had no troubles with this recipe. I made no changes to the recipe except the cherries- I didn't use them. I made them for a co-workers birthday and she loved them so much I decided to take them for a house warming party the same weekend. I was asked for the recipe. They had simple ingrediants and were easy to prepare. I made sure to chill the dough for an hour and it helps a lot. It was also faster for me because I have pampered chef tart press. It makes shaping them a breeze! Thanks for this posting!

this recipe's pretty good! but there'd be a couple of changes i'd make firstly i'd bake the tarts in the oven for about 15 mins before filling it with the chocolate mixture secondly, i added vanilla essence thirdl, fill the tart shells up to only 3/4 full. the filling tends to rise the tart pastry tasted good without addition of sugar. The chocolate fudge is sweet enough.

I found this to be one of the easiest desserts I've ever made, and if you don't count the time for chilling the dough, it was one of the fastest too! They turned out great, are easily adaptable depending on the crowd (I topped them with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh strawberries), and everybody loves them! One major benefit is that there are a small number of ingredients and the recipe is easy to remember, so I can whip these up anytime, anyplace for a quick, crowd pleasing dessert. I also think the dough makes a great, simple, tasty shell for other desserts... ex: fill with whipped cream and fresh fruit, or angel food cake topped with strawberries, etc. I've definitely given this recipe to all my friends!

I have made these twice and I think they are delicious and they look so appealing. But I don't think I'm going to be making them again because I seemed to be the only one eating them. Thanks anyway!

I'll give it two stars, because there is a slim chance that I did something wrong. But I doubt it. These were gross, no offense. I really didn't like them. I had made them to take to DH's work but they turned out so poorly that I threw them all out and he took something store-bought.
