Simple Holiday Hershey Kisses Tarts is my festive variation on my mom's Simple Fudge Tarts recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens 100 Best Cookies (2006). We had a handful of Hershey's Kisses, a bag of holiday M&M's, and some Betty Crocker cookie mixes leftover from baking our other cookie exchange cookies, so I decided to combine these ingredients and create something to fill the open space on our dessert tray.
Simple Holiday Hershey Kisses Tarts
A simple fudge tart made with holiday Hershey's Kisses, M&M's, and a whole lotta love!
Prep Time: 30 min
Total Time: 1 hr 20 min
Serves: 36 holiday tarts
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® chocolate chip cookie mix
- 1/2 c butter or margarine, softened
- 1 egg
- 36 Hershey's Kisses candies, unwrapped (I used Hershey's Kisses Candy Cane and Dark Chocolates filled with Mint Truffle)
- 1 c of M&M's® Mint Chocolate Candies
- 1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional topping)
Baking Instructions
- Heat oven to 375° F. Spray mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Make chocolate chip cookie dough as directed on package, using butter and egg. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 1 ball into each muffin cup.
- Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove from oven; firmly press 1 Hershey Kiss candy into the center of each cookie. Let the candy settle for a couple of minutes. Top each with 3 M&M's. Cool for 20 minutes. Loosen edges of cookie with a fork and remove to cooling racks.
Optional: Place chocolate chips in a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave for about . Scoop melted chocolate into a resealable plastic bag and cut off a tiny corner of bag. Squeeze bag to drizzle chocolate over the holiday tarts. Let stand for about 10 minutes or until hardened.
