Easy Chocolate Pudding Tarts

I’m trying to clear some items out of the freezer and pantry and whipped up a dessert on a whim. This recipe is easy for kids to make (with help of an adult and the oven of course) and for those last minute pop in guest.

1 (1.4 ounce, 4 ½ cup servings) instant chocolate pudding
1 package (9.5 ounces) Puff Pastry Mini Shells
peanut butter, if desired
crushed peanuts, if desired
mini marshmallows, if desired

Mix and refrigerate instant chocolate pudding mix.

Bake, cool and remove the “top” of the shells according to the package directions.

For plain chocolate tarts fill the baked shells with pudding and top with a marshmallow.

For the peanut butter chocolate tarts, add  a dab of peanut butter in the bottom of each shell then top with chocolate pudding and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts.
