Chocolate, Pecan and Fig Tartlets
Ingredients
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
1/3 cup dried small figs, chopped fine
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup granulated sugar
Preparation
1. Lightly butter two mini muffin pans (12 each). Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425ºF.
2. Place one sheet of puff pastry on lightly floured surface and roll out to 12"x18". Using 3" biscuit cutter, cut out 12 rounds of puff pastry. Press into prepared muffin pan to form little tartlet shells. Repeat with remaining puff pastry. Place in freezer or refrigerator while preparing filling.
3. Combine chocolate, pecans and figs in medium bowl. In small bowl, combine egg, corn syrup, and sugar. Add egg mixture to chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Place a heaping tablespoon of fig mixture in center of each tartlet. Pour corn syrup mixture just to cover. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until set. Cool and dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired. It may be necessary to remove from molds using small paring knife.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.
How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.
If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
