Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 oz Unsweetened chocolate -- chopped
6 tb Unsalted butter
3 lg Eggs
1/8 ts Salt
1/2 c Granulated sugar
1 tb Light corn syrup
2 tb Milk
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1 ts Cognac or rum
1/3 c Chocolate chips
6 Prebaked tartlet shells (4")
4 1/2 c Spiced almonds (recipe follows)
3 c Whipped cream (recipe follows)

Preheat the oven to 325?F.

Melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler over
simmering water, making sure that the water does not touch the bottom
of the pan holding the chocolate. Whisk until smooth.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and sugar. Add the
corn syrup and then the milk, vanilla extract, and cognac or rum. Mix
until smooth. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.

Divide the chocolate chips among the 6 tartlets, placing them in the
bottom of each shell. Pour the chocolate mixture over the chocolate
chips, filling each tartlet.

Bake the tartlets until almost completely set, 20 to 25 minutes.

Serve the tartlets warm with a dollop of the whipped cream and a
sprinkling of the spiced almonds. Serve extra whipped cream and
spiced almonds on the side.

The tartlets are best served the day they are baked. They can be
reheated. Store them at room temperature.
