Strawberry Cream Tarts Au Chocolate

1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup chocolate chips
50 Nila Wafers, finely rolled (about 2 cups crumbs)
1 pint small strawberries, sliced (you can substitue canned fruit)
1/4 cup sugar
2 Pkgs. (3 oz.) Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Mint Sprigs for garnish


In medium saucepan, over medium heat, heat margarine, corn syrup and chocolate chips until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth; remove from heat. Stir in wafer crumbs.

While crumb mixture is still warm, divide evenly among 12 (2 1/2") muffin pan cups; press against bottoms and sides of cups; chill 15 minutes. Carefully remove from pan; chill until ready to fill.

In medium bowl, stir together strawberry slices and sugar; set aside.

In small bowl, with electric mixer at medium speed, beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar.

Fill each tart shell with cream cheese mixture; top with strawberry slices. Garnish with mint springs if desired. Serve immediately or chill up to two hours before serving.
