Mini Raspberry Chocolate Tarts

I love chocolate.
I love raspberries.
Umm I love all things guilt-free and delicious.

Impeccable combination, don't you think?

That's why I love these little tarts.  They're so simple to put together, the ingredients are relatively cheap and they make the cutest little desserts for your holiday table!  Shh I have a secret though.  I may have made this recipe even healthier than the original.

GASP.

Yes this was in fact possible.
I ended up substituting melted chocolate for one of my favorite snacks...
sugar-free Jello pudding!
Brilliant, eh?

Your welcome.

Next time I think I'll channel my inner Yummy Mummy and roll the raspberries in sugar to make little sparkling tarts.  I'm never opposed to adding sugar to recipes :)

Yeah that's my inner fat kid talking.
