Blog SHOUT OUT!

While in Paris,we stopped at a market called Monoprix and discovered a DELIGHTFUL little "tart".  It's offical name is "Bonne Maman Tartelettes Chocolat Noix de Coco" and it is, basically, coconut and chocolate in a tiny tart shell.  That's where "basically" ends, however, because it is COMPLETELY DIVINE!!

Duane and I tried to find then online, or somewhere in the twin cities that sells them, but have had little to no luck (and shipping charges for what we could find were exorbitant).  What we could find, did not include this TASTY flavor combination.

So...I decided to see if I could find a recipe for them on the internet, and ran across the following blog:

What a DELIGHTFUL place to spend some time!  It's written by "Mr. P" in Wales.  The post for his version of the tartelettes was written in March for a contest he was entering, in which he had to PIMP a store brand item, and improve it.  Here's the URL for the post:  http://deliciousdeliciousdelicious.blogspot.com/2010/03/do-what-to-biscuit.html

I printed the post, but was dismayed to find that the sugar cookie tart base recipe was not included in the post.  Luckily, he had a "contact me" link, and I was able to send him a note.  He sent a LOVELY reply, with the recipe, and I'm SO going to make these this weekend!!!!  They are THAT good!!

He writes with wit, and panache, and has some REALLY, REALLY good recipes on his site (check out his gooseberry/strawberry/raspberry jam post from a few days ago, or his August "Pie of the Month"...YUM!).

He won the contest, by the way...
