Chocolate Tamales
"Involve the whole family in making these chocolate tamales — a festive twist to a traditional Mexican dish. Semi-sweet dark chocolate chips melt into sweet and delicate buttery dough flavored with hints of cinnamon and vanilla. The tamales can be made a day ahead, then cooled and refrigerated. Reheat in a steamer or microwave for a minute or two just before serving...."
