Secret Moments


Who can resist the sinful taste of dark chocolate?  How about hiding it in a dollop of shortbread?  Even better, right?!
The recipe is originally from Hershey's, but I tweaked a few things, and I call these delightful treats Secret Moments.  It's kind of a chocolate twist to the traditional Melting Moments (Russian Tea Cookies).  The first bite has powdered sugar and cocoa powder melting in your mouth, and your teeth sinking through buttery shortbread into a dark chocolate core.  It sounds really sweet, but the walnuts and dark chocolate offset the sweetness and makes this treat a perfect any-time satisfier.
These Secret Moments are incredibly easy to make, and most of the ingredients are right in your kitchen.  You can also make the dough ahead of time, store it in your refrigerator or freezer, and pull it out when you need it.  They're perfect for dessert nights, picnics with the kids and simple Christmas gifts (just don't forget to keep some for yourself, lol).
