Preparation

Step 1

The Cups:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, beat the sugar and 1/2 cup butter until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, almond extract and egg yolk. Blend well.

Lightly spoon flour into a measuring cup and level off. Stir in the flour and salt. Mix well. Chill dough for 1 hour for easier handling.

To form the muffin cps, use a 10 pc muffin tin. Place about 4 tsp dough into each slot. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides to form a shell.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Carefully remove muffin cups and let cool.

The Filling:

In a small bowl, beat the cocoa and 1/2 cup butter until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and liqueur. Blend well.

Filling the Cups:

Spoon equal amounts of filling into the cups and sprinkle with grated chocolate. Let cool in fridge.
