Peanut Butter-Chocolate Tassies
- 1 14 -ounce package (2 pieces) refrigerated pie dough
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Cinnamon sugar, for sprinkling
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Red and green nonpareils, for decorating
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly roll out 1 piece of dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.
- Cut out circles using a 3-inch-round cookie cutter.
- Repeat with the other piece of dough.
- Fit the dough circles into the holes of a 24-cup mini-muffin pan, pressing into the bottom and side of each cup.
- Lightly brush the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake until browned, 16 to 18 minutes; let cool in the pan.
- Combine the chocolate, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl.
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until steaming; pour over the chocolate mixture and add the vanilla.
- Let stand until the chocolate softens, 3 to 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
- (If the chocolate is not completely melted, microwave in 20-second intervals, whisking, until smooth.)
- Spoon the chocolate mixture into the pastry cups and decorate with nonpareils.
- Let stand at room temperature until the chocolate sets, about 1 hour, then unmold.
