S'Mores Tartlets

Celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito thinks s'mores are sexy. "It's very tactile," he says. "It breaks down barriers because you get your hands dirty." Here, his recipe for S'Mores Tartlets.

Ingredients
8 Keebler Mini Graham Cracker Pie Crusts, or other tart shells of choice
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
8 large strawberries, sliced
1 1/2 cups Marshmallow Fluff marshmallow creme
salt

Method

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place tart shells on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from oven and turn oven up to 500 degrees.
Meanwhile, in a microwaveable bowl melt chocolate in microwave at 50 percent power for about 3 minutes, or until melted, stirring halfway through cooking time. Spoon a little more than a tablespoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each tart shell. Arrange strawberry slices from one strawberry on the chocolate in each shell. Spoon about 3 tablespoons Fluff inside each shell and spread to cover the entire surface of the shell. Sprinkle a tiny amount of salt on top of the Fluff.
Place filled tartlets in oven. Watching carefully, allow the Fluff to get toasty brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven. Place 2 tartlets on each plate. Drizzle with melted chocolate and serve immediately.
