For a deeper chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with a higher cacao percentage. If you don't have tart shells, you can use mini muffin tins lined with pastry. A pinch of flaky sea salt on top of the melted chocolate adds a delightful contrast of flavors. Ensure the butter is properly softened to ensure the filling mixes evenly. Cool completely before drizzling, otherwise melted chocolate will run If you want nuts, add them before baking
