    spoons, fill pastry cups with caramel mixture. Cool to
    room temperature.

    For the frosting, in a small bowl, beat shortening and
    butter until smooth. Gradually beat in confectioners'
    sugar and milk until fluffy. Pipe onto filling. If
    desired, drizzle with melted chocolate. Store in the
    refrigerator.
