How To Make chocolate cherry mini tarts

1
Combine powdered sugar, wafer crumbs, ground almonds, and cocoa in medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle in milk, mixing until ingredients are moistened and cling together. Shape into walnut size pieces; place in small paper lined muffin cups (1 3/4 inches in diameter). Press dough against bottom and up side of each cup to form shell; chill until firm.

2
Prepare Cherry Almond Filling: Beat cream cheese in small mixer bowl. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and almond extract; beat until well blended. Stir in almonds and cherries. Spoon into tart shells. Garnish with candied cherry halves. Chill until firm.
