Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Premade pastry crust
Filling:
1/2 c Salted butter
6 oz Baking chocolate -- unsweetened
2 lg Eggs
1 c Dark brown sugar
1/2 c Dark corn syrup
2 ts Vanilla extract
1 1/2 c Walnuts -- chopped
Topping:
24 Walnut halves
1/2 c Heavy cream
1/4 c White sugar
1 ts Almond extract

Filling:

In saucepan combine butter and chocolate and stir over low heat. Pour
into bowl and let cool 5 minutes. Using an electric mixer, beat eggs
into chocolate. Add sugar, corn syrup and vanilla and blend until
smooth. Fold in walnuts.

To Assemble:

Preheat oven to 350?F. Roll out dough on floured board to 1/8"
thickness. Cut dough in circles to fit 2-1/2" tartlet pans, cut a bit
larger than pans are. Repeat with remaining dough. Lay dough in pans
and press firmly. Fill pans 2/3rds full of filling and place on
baking sheet to catch any overspill. Bake 30 minutes or until filling
is set. While tartlets are still warm, place one walnut half in
center of each.

Topping:

In chilled bowl with chilled beaters, beat cream, sugar and almond
extract, until stiff peaks form. Do not over-beat. Put whipped
topping in pastry bag and using a star tip, pipe decorative topping
onto each tartlet.
