Chocolate Peanut Butter Halloween Tarts

I have always loved to bake,

but some days you just don't have the time

to make a complicated dessert.

Enter Chocolate Peanut Butter

Halloween Tarts....

These little pies really took no time at all to put together.

Here's the recipe from Taste of Home:

1 cup peanut butter chips

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix

1 ¾ cups cold milk

1 package (6 count) individual graham cracker tart shells

Whipped topping

Optional:  Halloween candy, sprinkles, etc.

In the top of a double boiler over simmering water,

melt chips with oil, stirring until smooth.

(I used a Pyrex bowl on top of a pot of simmer water for my double boiler)

Remove top pan from water and cool for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk pudding and milk until thick.

Fold in peanut butter mixture.  Spoon into tart shells.

Chill for 15 minutes.

Top with dollop of whipped cream and decorate

as desired.

That was nice & simple...

and my husband & kids loved them!

Happy Halloween, friends!
