    4 1/2  cups          Spiced Almonds (recipe follows)
    3      cups          Whipped Cream (recipe follows)
 
 
 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
 
 Melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler over 
 simmering
 water, making sure that the water does not touch the bottom of the 
 pan
 holding the chocolate. Whisk until smooth.
 
 In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and sugar. Add the 
 corn
 syrup and then the milk, vanilla extract, and cognac or rum. Mix 
 until
 smooth. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
 
 Divide the chocolate chips among the 6 tartlets, placing them in the 
 bottom
 of each shell. Pour the chocolate mixture over the chocolate chips, 
 filling
 each tartlet.
 
 Bake the tartlets until almost completely set, 20 to 25 minutes.
 
 Serve the tartlets warm with a dollop of the whipped cream and a 
 sprinkling
 of the spiced almonds. Serve extra whipped cream and spiced almonds 
 on the
 side.
 
 The tartlets are best served the day they are baked. They can be 
 reheated.
 Store them at room temperature.
 
 Yield: 6 serving
