Make this indulgent, winning recipe for those times when a small bite of sweet is all you need.


   FILLING
   1 (4-ounce) box sweet baking chocolate, chopped
   1/4 cup unsalted butter, butter or margarine
   1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
   2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
   2 tablespoons coffee liqueur or cold coffee
   1 egg
   1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
   24 whole macadamia nuts
   
   TOPPING
   3 ounces (3 squares) white baking chocolate bar, chopped
   1/3 cup soft cream cheese
   1/2 cup whipping cream
   2 tablespoons powdered sugar
   1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Heat oven to 350°F. In small saucepan over low heat, melt sweet chocolate and 1/4 cup butter, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in brown sugar, flour, liqueur and egg; set aside.

Unroll dough into 2 long rectangles; firmly press perforations to seaL Cut each rectangle in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into six 2-inch squares. Press or roll out each square to 2 3/4-inch square. Place 1 square in each of 24 ungreased miniature muffin cups. Firmly press in bottom and up sides, leaving corners of dough extended over edges of each cup. Place 1 macadamia nut in each dough-lined cup. Spoon about 2 teaspoons filling mixture over nut in each cup.

Bake at 350°F. for 12 to 15 minutes or until filling is set and corners of dough are golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan. Place on wire racks; cool completely. Refrigerate 1 hour or until thoroughly chilled.

In small saucepan over low heat, melt white baking bar and cream cheese, stirring constantly until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

In small bowl, beat whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla just until soft peaks form. Add chilled white baking bar mixture; mix at low speed just until well blended. Pipe or spoon topping over top of chilled cups. Refrigerate to set topping. Store in refrigerator.
