                         -----CHOCOLATE GLAZE-----
   14       oz           Semi-sweet chocolate morsels
      1/2   c            Whipping cream
 
     Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray mini-heart pan
   with vegetable   spray. Dust with cocoa powder. In
   2-quart saucepan, melt chocolate and   butter over low
   heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted.
   Stir in flour, sugar and vanilla. Stir in eggs until
   well-mixed. Stir in walnuts.
     Pour into prepared pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or
   until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
   Cool in pan 5 minutes on wire rack. When cool pour
   chocolate glaze over cakes. Garnish with fresh
   raspberries and mint leaves, if desired. Serve chilled.
 
   Glaze: Heat whipping cream just to boiling point.
   Don't boil. Add chocolate and stir until smooth and
   glossy. If mixture is too thin, wait a few minutes
   until it cools slightly and thickens. Put cooled cakes
   on wire rack over sheet of waxed paper. Pour glaze
   onto center of each   cake and work toward edges.
