Mini Pineapple Tartlets

Sometimes I love fun little party foods.
And sometimes I even love fun little parties.
Ok you're right, I always do.
But you can make these any time and I promise no one will judge you.

I made these this week for Bachelorette night (yeah we all know how that went down) and despite the god awful ending due to Emily's worst decision ever, these were really yummy!  I went the short cut route and used canned pineapple chunks...yes I know forgive me...and sauteed them with a little brown sugar and cinnamon.  Next time I might even add a little rum, you know, just because.  Not only did my kitchen smell amazing, but I couldn't stop licking my spoon!

Yeah that's my inner fat kid talking.
Excuse her.

I topped these miniature delights off with some Lite Reddi-wip and went to town.  Just make sure to serve right away because I found that the shells got a bit soggy after sitting for awhile, but that didn't stop me from stuffing my face.  Let's be real.

Go ahead, see for yourselves.
